Ehsan's Growth Commentary

In my experience advising EdTech companies, Partnerships & Integrations at Public is a critical growth lever that deserves dedicated resources. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Build the team, build the dashboard, then build the machine.

For 500+ people teams: assign one person to own Partnerships & Integrations end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. Hire a specialist with industry experience.
