Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 260 companies shows Events & Conferences generates 26% of pipeline for EdTech companies at Series C. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.
For 80-200 people teams: assign one person to own Events & Conferences end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. Hire a specialist with industry experience.
