When talking to startup founders or other innovators, we always ask questions to better understand their business as a core. One way to approach that last question is to use this simple model: Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) How will your business reach prospects? Next, define what you need from a metrics and reporting standpoint.

A post by Fred Wilson pointed me to Dave McClure's Startup Metrics presentation. This is a great presentation and one that I'm going to point out to startup / early stage company CEOs. Define what you need from a metrics and reporting standpoint. If these numbers work out, then often scaling is more a question of capital.

If you have a team member who was an early employee at Facebook, say that right up front. Forget Your Slides. Have your slides there, reference the key points as needed, but keep the focus on each other — not a slideshow. Read what other startup mentors have to say about attracting investor attention. Talk Up Your Team.

They decide to wake up early to read the materials. In town board members also only scan it because they, too, have morning meetings before the board meeting starts. The deck itself was produced by a committee of functional team lead who were asked to do 5–7 slides each for an update. The meeting starts.

It’s a conversation that creeps up from time-to-time. For a combination of reasons I didn’t end up talking with the CEO in time and the company quickly became over subscribed. Because management is so important I always tell people to make the bio slide the first in your deck. They might want you to start lean.
