Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 81+ SaaS companies, the pattern is clear: Events & Conferences at the Public stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
With 500+ people and $50M+ budget, focus Events & Conferences efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
