Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 53+ Media companies, the pattern is clear: Product-Led Growth 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 Product-Led Growth for Media 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.
