Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 252 companies shows Account-Based Marketing generates 33% of pipeline for AI/ML companies at Series C. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.
For 80-200 people teams: assign one person to own Account-Based Marketing end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. Hire a specialist with industry experience.
