Startup Metrics Framework

Comprehensive guide to tracking, calculating, and optimizing key performance metrics for different startup business models from seed through Series A.

Overview

Track the right metrics at the right stage. Focus on unit economics, growth efficiency, and cash management metrics that matter for fundraising and operational excellence.

Universal Startup Metrics

Revenue Metrics

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)

MRR = Σ (Active Subscriptions × Monthly Price)

ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)

ARR = MRR × 12

Growth Rate

MoM Growth = (This Month MRR - Last Month MRR) / Last Month MRR
YoY Growth = (This Year ARR - Last Year ARR) / Last Year ARR

Target Benchmarks:

Seed stage: 15-20% MoM growth
Series A: 10-15% MoM growth, 3-5x YoY
Series B+: 100%+ YoY (Rule of 40)

Unit Economics

CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)
