Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 77+ FinTech companies, the pattern is clear: Viral Loops at the Growth stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
With 200-500 people and $15-50M 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.
