Ehsan's Growth Commentary
In my experience advising CleanTech companies, Marketplace Growth at Series C is a critical growth lever that deserves dedicated resources. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Build the team, build the dashboard, then build the machine.
CleanTech companies at Series C should allocate 15-25% of growth budget to Marketplace Growth. Track weekly, evaluate monthly, pivot quarterly. The winning rhythm is 2-week sprints with clear hypotheses.
