Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 254 companies shows API-First Distribution generates 16% of pipeline for CleanTech companies at Public. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.
For 500+ people teams: assign one person to own API-First Distribution end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. Hire a specialist with industry experience.
