Ehsan's Growth Commentary

In my experience advising Logistics companies, Events & Conferences at Pre-Seed is often premature but never too early to experiment with. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Run one experiment per week, measure ruthlessly.

Logistics 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.
