Investor Expectations

Different investors have different expectations for Series A metrics, depending on the business and risk profile. For SaaS businesses, doubling annual recurring revenue and reaching £100,000 in monthly revenue are common benchmarks. However, other factors like customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, customer engagement, and churn rate also play a role. Founders should seek feedback from VCs and other founders who have raised money to determine the appropriate KPIs for their specific business.
