Integrate with the collaboration surface used by the target group and give the group a native reason to invite others.
Why this can grow a startup
The integration travels through existing collaboration behavior instead of asking every user to discover it independently.

When to use it
Use this when Slack, community, integrations is relevant to Activation, Expansion and you can run a bounded test with a high budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
