Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 234 companies shows Events & Conferences generates 26% of pipeline for CleanTech companies at Pre-Seed. But only when implemented with discipline. At this stage, every experiment should run for exactly 2 weeks before evaluation.
CleanTech companies at Pre-Seed should allocate 15-25% of growth budget to Events & Conferences. Track weekly, evaluate monthly, pivot quarterly. The winning rhythm is 2-week sprints with clear hypotheses.
