Ehsan's Analysis

This metric in CleanTech at Seed has a compounding effect that most founders underestimate. A 5% monthly improvement sustained for 12 months results in a 79% total improvement. Most startups give up after 2 months of no visible progress, not realizing the curve is exponential. Patience plus consistent execution wins.
