PostGrad Business Strategy

Scale hiring in lockstep with revenue milestones: at $20K MRR hire first full-time engineer, at $50K MRR add a dedicated sales rep, at $100K MRR bring on a customer success manager. Never hire ahead of revenue by more than one quarter. Each new hire should have a 90-day ramp plan with measurable output targets.

Score prospective consulting clients across five readiness dimensions: data maturity (do they have structured data?), technical infrastructure (can they host models?), organizational buy-in (does leadership support AI?), use case clarity (do they know what they want to automate?), and budget realism (are expectations aligned with investment?). Clients scoring below 3/5 on any dimension need a discovery phase before committing to build.

Post 4-5 times per week with a mix: 2 tactical how-to posts, 1 contrarian take, 1 case study or result, 1 personal story. Posts between 150-250 words perform best. Always end with a question or call-to-action. Carousel posts generate 3x the engagement of text-only posts for technical content.
