Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 43+ FinTech companies, the pattern is clear: Influencer Marketing at the Series C stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
The first 90 days of Influencer Marketing for FinTech at Series C: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
