Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ehsan's Growth Commentary
In my experience advising EdTech companies, Viral Loops at Series B is a critical growth lever that deserves dedicated resources. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Build the team, build the dashboard, then build the machine.
For 30-80 people teams: assign one person to own Viral Loops end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. Hire a specialist with industry experience.
