- Key Growth Strategies
- DevEx - drop a component & get a signup screen. Has to be faster than free, open source alternatives.
- Helping with compliance - e.g. NIST 80063B
- Growing with Jamstack - Clerk has tailored its offering to jamstack developers and always has up-to-date UI and docs for react
- Sponsorship/influence - in the early days, tweets from Guillermo Rauch helped and now Clerk sponsors technical content creators like Theo and Traversy Media. It works extra well because people like their product.
