Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most CleanTech founders over-invest in infrastructure and under-invest in Influencer Marketing. My recommendation: spend 80% of your time on the first 20% of activities that drive results. The companies reaching $1M ARR through Influencer Marketing all share this pattern.
With 3-10 people and $50-300K 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.
