Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 69+ EdTech companies, the pattern is clear: Open Source Growth at the Public stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
The first 90 days of Open Source Growth for EdTech at Public: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
