Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 89+ MarTech companies, the pattern is clear: Partnerships & Integrations at the Pre-Seed stage requires founder-driven execution. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
The first 90 days of Partnerships & Integrations for MarTech at Pre-Seed: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
