Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most AI/ML founders get distracted from Influencer Marketing. My recommendation: build repeatable systems before hiring specialists. The companies reaching $10M ARR through Influencer Marketing all share this pattern.
The first 90 days of Influencer Marketing for AI/ML at Series B: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
