Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 264 companies shows Events & Conferences generates 26% of pipeline for FinTech companies at Seed. But only when implemented with discipline. At this stage, every experiment should run for exactly 2 weeks before evaluation.
For 3-10 people teams: assign one person to own Events & Conferences end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
