Ehsan's Growth Commentary

The data from 286 companies shows Product-Led Growth generates 36% of pipeline for Logistics companies at Series C. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.

Logistics companies at Series C should allocate 15-25% of growth budget to Product-Led Growth. Track weekly, evaluate monthly, pivot quarterly. The winning rhythm is 2-week sprints with clear hypotheses.
