What is the Strategic Growth for Early-Stage Tech course about?

Most early-stage growth leads end up choosing between speed and stability. Push too hard, and operations crack. Move too slow, and funding dries up. The pressure to deliver metrics now often means skipping steps that matter, steps that later cost tenfold to fix. Without a clear roadmap, even strong teams spin in cycles of rework and reactive decisions.
