Ehsan's Growth Commentary

The data from 212 companies shows Community-Led Growth generates 42% of pipeline for Logistics companies at Series A. But only when implemented with discipline. At this stage, every experiment should run for exactly 2 weeks before evaluation.

For 10-30 people teams: assign one person to own Community-Led Growth end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
