Ehsan's Growth Commentary

In my experience advising HealthTech companies, Paid Acquisition at Series A is a critical growth lever that deserves dedicated resources. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Run one experiment per week, measure ruthlessly.

HealthTech companies at Series A should allocate 15-25% of growth budget to Paid Acquisition. Track weekly, evaluate monthly, pivot quarterly. The winning rhythm is 2-week sprints with clear hypotheses.
