Ehsan's Growth Commentary

The data from 298 companies shows Viral Loops generates 39% of pipeline for HealthTech companies at Growth. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.

HealthTech companies at Growth 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.
