Description
This course helps entrepreneurs and product teams identify, track, and optimize the key performance indicators (KPIs) that matter most in a startup environment. It starts by explaining the difference between vanity metrics and actionable metrics, guiding learners on selecting indicators aligned with their goals. Students explore metrics across various business functions — such as marketing (CAC, CTR, ROI), sales (conversion rate, churn), product (engagement, retention), and finance (burn rate, runway). Emphasis is placed on using these metrics to make real-time decisions and pivot strategies. Learners also build basic dashboards using tools like Google Sheets or BI platforms and practice setting metric-driven OKRs (Objectives and Key Results). The course showcases how high-growth startups track metrics during different growth stages and how to benchmark results against industry standards. By the end, participants will have a customized KPI set and a reporting rhythm that fosters accountability, clarity, and strategic growth tracking within their teams or ventures.
