Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 81+ MarTech companies, the pattern is clear: Events & Conferences at the Series A stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
The first 90 days of Events & Conferences for MarTech at Series A: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
