I'm convinced that revenue per employee will become the biggest flex for a successful startup.

  • Investment raised👎
    • Vanity metric — proves you're good at fundraising
  • Users👎
    • Vanity metric — no gauge of usage, retention, or monetisation
  • Revenue😐
    • Better — but can be pumped up with inefficient sales people or paid marketing
OR
  • Revenue per employee🙌
    • Shows your leanness, that you're monetising efficiently, and prepped to expand profitability
