Ehsan's Growth Commentary

In my experience advising SaaS companies, Viral Loops at Public 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.

SaaS companies at Public should allocate 15-25% of growth budget to Viral Loops. Track weekly, evaluate monthly, pivot quarterly. The winning rhythm is 2-week sprints with clear hypotheses.
