Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most CleanTech founders over-invest in infrastructure and under-invest in Content Marketing. My recommendation: spend 80% of your time on the first 20% of activities that drive results. The companies reaching $1M ARR through Content Marketing all share this pattern.
The first 90 days of Content Marketing for CleanTech 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.
