Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ehsan's Growth Commentary
In my experience advising HealthTech companies, Viral Loops at Seed is often premature but never too early to experiment with. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Run one experiment per week, measure ruthlessly.
For 3-10 people teams: assign one person to own Viral Loops end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
