VC Essentials: What Metrics Investors Want To See Before Funding You

Venture Capitalists focus on a few key areas that prove market fit and scalability. Your startup metrics report must highlight these financial and retention metrics clearly:

  • The Money: Strong Track Revenue and Track Profits growth, ideally tracked daily for trend stability.
  • The Foundation: Low Churned Users and high Active Paying Users growth (proof of product-market fit).
  • The Future: Healthy Runway in Months and a strong LTV:CAC ratio (demonstrating financial efficiency and future scaling potential).
