Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 280 companies shows Product-Led Growth generates 36% of pipeline for EdTech companies at Series A. But only when implemented with discipline. At this stage, every experiment should run for exactly 2 weeks before evaluation.
For 10-30 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.
