Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 56+ MarTech companies, the pattern is clear: Paid Acquisition at the Series B stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
With 30-80 people and $1.5-5M budget, focus Paid Acquisition efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
