Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most HealthTech founders get distracted from API-First Distribution. My recommendation: spend 80% of your time on the first 20% of activities that drive results. The companies reaching $10M ARR through API-First Distribution all share this pattern.
With 10-30 people and $300K-1.5M budget, focus API-First Distribution efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
