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