Startup Metrics – Andreas Klinger (Notes)
von Samuel | Mai 1, 2022 | Business |
- build, measure, learn 🔁
- design product for product/market fit (demand now not in X years)
- much knowledge about metrics based on online marketing (A/B testing, funnels, referral, optimization, …)
- but online marketing is not innovation, it’s optimization
- we need product insights
- focus on making (few) people stay and use your product first – to gain insights from active user’s
- ask questions = make assumptions (hypothesis)
- validate/falsify assumptions
- don’t use metrics/graphs that always go up anyway to measure your progress (only for press)
- don’t only measure single users or averages
- use cohorts, medians and standard deviations e.g.
- use intution for the rest
- good KPI’s:
- validation/falsification of assumptions
- rate/ratio (relative scales)
- comparisons (to own history – not market)
- explanations (for your assumptions)
- look at your own history
- compare your progress to your own history (not only others or benchmarks)
- maybe use industry averages as reality check
- measure based on user phase
- Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, Revenue (AARRR)
- measure the right things
- have different charts
- for your internal development (must hurt)
- for stakeholders/investors (must convince them)
