George Bonaci doesn't talk about failure culture. He built one. At Ramp, the employee engagement question he watches most closely isn't about happiness or belonging. It's: do you feel safe taking risks?

In this extract, he breaks down what it actually means to run growth like a science: why failing nine times in a row is a good sign, how he evaluates experiments with an expanded version of the ICE framework, and why when something works, the only right move is to go 10x immediately.

He also walks through how Ramp became one of the largest advertisers on a side project they found on Twitter the night before, no website, no terms and conditions, just a credit card and ads running inside Claude Code.

→ Hiring people who want to fail: why it's the hardest management commitment to actually keep

→ ICE plus the variable most teams skip: time to results

→ Going 10x immediately beats doubling cautiously, and here is the math

→ Channels that didn't exist last week: how Ramp finds and saturates them fast

→ What gut feeling is actually worth on a scientific growth team
