Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 186 companies shows Community-Led Growth generates 42% of pipeline for Cybersecurity companies at Growth. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.
For 200-500 people teams: assign one person to own Community-Led Growth end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. Hire a specialist with industry experience.
