Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 59+ DevTools companies, the pattern is clear: Outbound Sales at the Series A stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
With 10-30 people and $300K-1.5M 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.
