Ehsan's Growth Commentary

In my experience advising HealthTech companies, Account-Based Marketing at Seed is often premature but never too early to experiment with. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Run one experiment per week, measure ruthlessly.

For 3-10 people teams: assign one person to own Account-Based Marketing end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
