Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most EdTech founders get distracted from Influencer Marketing. My recommendation: spend 80% of your time on the first 20% of activities that drive results. The companies reaching $10M ARR through Influencer Marketing all share this pattern.
The first 90 days of Influencer Marketing for EdTech at Series A: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
