Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 89+ CleanTech companies, the pattern is clear: Viral Loops at the Series C stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
With 80-200 people and $5-15M budget, focus Viral Loops efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
