Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most FinTech 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.
With 200-500 people and $15-50M budget, focus Influencer Marketing efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
