Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 59+ EdTech companies, the pattern is clear: Content Marketing at the Seed stage requires founder-driven execution. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
The first 90 days of Content Marketing for EdTech at Seed: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
