## Resource

Episode 85 of Product-Led Growth with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna drill into why pre-built onboarding templates are a hidden PLG lever. They compare Canva's early template strategy to modern B2B SaaS, unpack the data behind activation rates (users who complete a template are 3x more likely to convert to paid), and debate when templates become a crutch. Specific examples from Notion, Figma, and a $2M ARR startup that cut time-to-value by 40 percent using industry-specific templates. No fluff — just how to build, test, and iterate on self-serve onboarding flows that actually drive adoption. #PLG #ProductLedGrowth #SelfServe #Onboarding #Templates #Activation #UserOnboarding #SaaS #B2BSaaS #Canva #Notion #Figma #TimeToValue #Conversion #ProductStrategy #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
