Ehsan's Growth Commentary
Most EdTech founders get distracted from Viral Loops. My recommendation: build repeatable systems before hiring specialists. The companies reaching $10M ARR through Viral Loops all share this pattern.
With 500+ people and $50M+ 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.
