Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ehsan's Growth Commentary
In my experience advising EdTech companies, Product-Led Growth at Seed is often premature but never too early to experiment with. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Run one experiment per week, measure ruthlessly.
For 3-10 people teams: assign one person to own Product-Led Growth end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
