Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most Media 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.
With 500+ people and $50M+ budget, focus Partnerships & Integrations efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
