Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 59+ EdTech companies, the pattern is clear: Account-Based Marketing at the Series A stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
The first 90 days of Account-Based Marketing for EdTech at Series A: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
