Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most E-commerce founders get distracted from Partnerships & Integrations. My recommendation: build repeatable systems before hiring specialists. The companies reaching $10M ARR through Partnerships & Integrations all share this pattern.
The first 90 days of Partnerships & Integrations for E-commerce at Series B: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
