This post is an engineer’s guide (in plain English and a bit of math) to the startup metrics that VCs and founders obsess over. We’ll cover the essentials: how fast you’re growing, whether users stick around, how long your cash will last, and if your business model makes any money. By the end, you’ll see why 100 delighted daily users beat 1000 drive-by signups, and why these metrics have become my new “performance specs” in evaluating startups.
