Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 91+ SaaS companies, the pattern is clear: Outbound Sales at the 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 3-10 people and $50-300K budget, focus Outbound Sales efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
