Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ehsan's Growth Commentary
In my experience advising DevTools companies, Events & Conferences at Series B is a critical growth lever that deserves dedicated resources. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Build the team, build the dashboard, then build the machine.
DevTools companies at Series B 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.
