Crucial KPIs for founders, from inception to exit: Pre-Seed: Validate your idea! Focus on Problem-Solution Fit (qualitative user interviews, early sign-ups). Seed: Prove initial traction. Track Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Conversion Rates, and early Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV). Are you acquiring users efficiently? Series A: Demonstrate scalability. Monitor Revenue Growth Rate, Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), and Churn Rate. Can you grow sustainably? Series B: Optimize for efficiency. Analyze Gross Margin, Net Burn Rate, & Customer Retention Rate. Are you building a profitable, sticky business? Growth (Series C/D): Expand market share. Observe Market Penetration Rate, New Market Expansion, & Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). Are you capturing the market? Pre-Acquisition: Showcase value. Highlight Profitability Metrics (EBITDA), Customer Concentration, & Strategic Alignment. Is your company a compelling acquisition target? The core is to build a valuable, sustainable business.
