Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 72+ EdTech companies, the pattern is clear: Product-Led Growth at the Series B stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
With 30-80 people and $1.5-5M budget, focus Product-Led Growth efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
