Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most EdTech founders get distracted from Account-Based Marketing. My recommendation: build repeatable systems before hiring specialists. The companies reaching $10M ARR through Account-Based Marketing all share this pattern.
With 80-200 people and $5-15M budget, focus Account-Based Marketing efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
