Roboflow growth playbook

In two weeks, with the proof Roboflow already has: map each of the 16 case studies to its industry pages and show named results first (BNSF on logistics, transportation and warehousing; USG and Pella on manufacturing; Ulteig on energy; Wellth on healthcare); fix the mislabel; and where an industry has no story yet, show the closest named one with a clear label plus two use cases from the /ai library for that industry. Then make one new named story for each of the six priority verticals the next PMM sprint.

Enterprise buyers trust peers in their own industry. Matching proof to the page is the quickest way to make the "Vision AI platform for the world's largest companies" story believable, and it raises demo requests from pages that already rank.

[ ] Each industry page lists only proof from its own or a clearly labelled adjacent industry
[ ] Logistics page: container-yard result labelled correctly
[ ] Energy and utilities page links Ulteig
[ ] Healthcare page leads with Wellth
[ ] Logistics, transportation, warehousing lead with BNSF
[ ] Manufacturing pages lead with USG and Pella
[ ] Gap industries flagged for a new named story
[ ] Demo form records the industry page

• Customers decline to be named

  Use named industry and role with approved metrics.

• Thin proof in aerospace and defense

  Lead with relevant use cases and the security and sovereignty features.

Agree one current figure for organizations, developers, Fortune 100 share, funding and top customer results; put them in a shared component used by every page and the job post template; and update the About page and press kit.

Enterprise buyers and analysts check numbers; a mismatch makes the bigger claim look inflated, while one consistent figure makes it credible.

• Old numbers in press coverage

  Publish a current fact sheet on the press page.

• Your websiteHeadline numbers: the homepage says "Over half the Fortune 100 and 80,000 organizations" and "Over 2M developers build with Roboflow"; the pricing, customer stories, contribute and industry pages say "Over 16,000 organizations build with Roboflow"; the About page says "over one million developers"; job posts say "More than 1 million developers" and "millions of developers", and give funding as both "$63 million" and "over $100 million".Source

Add a "Paid data work with Roboflow Labs" section to the contribute page now: the kinds of tasks, expected pay ranges, skills and domains wanted, and a short application that captures skills, languages, domain expertise and availability. Link it from the app, the newsletter and YouTube descriptions. Use the waitlist to staff the first cohorts.

The highest-intent developers already visit this page; a simple application starts the supply funnel before the full brand exists.

• Confusing the free credit programme

  Keep two clear sections: community credits and paid work.

• HiringGrowth Lead, Roboflow Labs (San Francisco, posted September 21, 2026): owns "the supply side of the business: the network of expert contributors who collect, annotate, verify, and evaluate the data frontier models are trained on". The network "is seeded from Roboflow's existing community of millions of developers, which is a head start no other human-data company has", and "will grow into a contributor brand of its own with its own landing page, job board, onboarding, and payouts". Channels: "convert Roboflow's registered developers into contributors", paid and organic, "referral loops", universities, professional communities and specialist job boards; "Stand up expert cohorts on demand"; benchmark pay against competing platforms; screening, fraud prevention and identity verification.Source

Publish a Labs page: what Labs delivers (datasets, evaluations, environments), the RF100-VL and RF-DETR credentials, quality process, security, and a form to request a sample packet in a specific domain. Use it in every outbound message.

Research buyers check credibility before replying; a page with the benchmark and a sample request makes outreach land.

• Confidential partners

  Describe work types, not names.

Add two pre-written Agent prompts on each industry page (for energy: "inspect solar panels for cracks"; for warehousing: "count pallets in a loading bay") that open Agent with the prompt filled in, and track which ones lead to a deployed workflow.

Run a reference programme: ask customers in each vertical for a story, video and reference call in exchange for co-marketing; use one structure (problem, deployment, measured result, time to production); and give AEs a searchable library by industry and use case.
