Ehsan's Analysis

Conversion rate benchmarks in CleanTech at Series A are misleading without context. A 2% conversion on $100K enterprise deals is spectacular. A 5% conversion on $29/mo signups is mediocre. Always normalize by ACV. The companies I coach focus on conversion velocity: how fast someone goes from first touch to signed contract. Shortening that by 30% has more impact than doubling top-of-funnel.
