The Relevance of Unit Economics impacts every startup and innovation project
Key Question "Is Customer Lifetime Value higher than Cost of Customer Acquisition?" is rarely addressed
Canaan Partners VC
One of the most common oversights of a seed stage company (or an innovation project) is not thinking about unit economics at the early stages of their business. Far too frequently we see strong founding teams raise a seed and unfortunately fail to close an A-round because unit economics never came close to working even though they thought they actually were working. These situations are avoidable, and simply require some conversation around the unit economics framework and theory.
... and Lean-Canvas and Design Thinking do not provide any guidance
Methodologies surrender to the complexity of business models and accept Excel dominance
.. and Excel as a solution kills investor’s trust
If your portfolio companies have to create a business model to show investors, what are their options?
Excel is a solution. But it's really part of the problem. Using Excel always leads to inconsistent results.
This totally kills investor’s trust in the portfolio companies
This is why we built Lean-Case
It gives investors and their startups and corporates and their innovation projects the ability to quickly model and simulate different business models – accurately and precisely – and present the metrics in a decision maker friendly format.
