Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 284 companies shows Marketplace Growth generates 22% of pipeline for CleanTech companies at Pre-Seed. But only when implemented with discipline. At this stage, every experiment should run for exactly 2 weeks before evaluation.
For 1-3 people teams: assign one person to own Marketplace Growth end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
