Congrats: You’ve found go-to-market fit (GTM). This means you’ve uncovered a repeatable formula for scaling your startup, and it’s a pivotal moment for any company.
But how can you make sure you’re ready to scale?
3 metrics drive the math of scaling a startup:
🔷 Gross churn rate (GCR) 🟰 the % of recurring revenue lost from customers that didn’t renew
🔷 The magic number (MN) 🟰 tells you how much new revenue is generated for every dollar spent on sales and marketing
🔷 Gross margin 🟰 net revenue as a % of total revenue, and how much gross profit you get over the cost to produce each unit sold
