Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most FinTech founders get distracted from Open Source Growth. My recommendation: build repeatable systems before hiring specialists. The companies reaching $10M ARR through Open Source Growth all share this pattern.
The first 90 days of Open Source Growth for FinTech at Growth: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
