Startup Metrics for Founders (LEAN 121)

This is the slide deck from Trevor Owens's classes on Startup Metrics for Founders

In 2004, with only 150,000 registered users and very little revenue, Facebook raised $500,000 and less than a year later raised another $12.7 million. It was not the most popular social network nor was it even the most popular college social network. So what metrics were early indicators of it's future success?

In this class we will go over this and two other unreleased case studies on startup metrics that matter.

By the end of this class you will have an understanding of:

Actionable Metrics & Split Testing
Qualitative vs Quantitative Metrics
Cohort Metrics
Validated Learning
Innovation Accounting Framework
Hypothesis Testing
Funnel Metrics and AARRR
Paying attention to the wrong metrics will lead your startup down the wrong path, don't take that risk by missing this class.
