Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 87+ Logistics companies, the pattern is clear: Open Source Growth at the Pre-Seed stage requires founder-driven execution. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
With 1-3 people and $0-50K budget, focus Open Source Growth efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
