Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 217 companies shows Events & Conferences generates 26% of pipeline for SaaS companies at Series B. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.
SaaS 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.
