Hey! Let's make an app called TicTacPlay with many games to choose from.
People will connect with a shared link and be able to play games based on their interests like archery, basketball and strategy games like connect four, Tic Tac Toe and chess.
It's ready!
Let's send it to our family and friends to start out and see if they like it.

I can model your growth with an exponential graph. Let's see what will happen over the eight days of the holidays.
December 20th
The good news is that according to my graph, the rate of users per day for the next eight days is projected to be very high! It's gone VIRAL! The bad news is that if the growth continues at this rate the app will CRASH in 8 days!
We couldn't afford servers and networking for this many users. We did not expect exponential growth! Now during the holidays we can not fix this problem!
Yes, but we learned a great business lesson from this, math can help us prevent this problem in the new year!
As our analyst predicted our servers and network crashed today. We had too many users per day.
