Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ehsan's Growth Commentary
In my experience advising HealthTech companies, Open Source Growth at Seed is often premature but never too early to experiment with. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Run one experiment per week, measure ruthlessly.
HealthTech companies at Seed should allocate 15-25% of growth budget to Open Source Growth. Track weekly, evaluate monthly, pivot quarterly. The winning rhythm is 2-week sprints with clear hypotheses.
