Innovation accounting and key metrics for startupsBlaz Kos
The traditional accounting in start-ups is usually incredibly simple - revenues, margins, free cash flow and other traditional accounting metrics are zero or very close to zero.
It is also impossible to do financial forecasts for start-ups (P&L, balance sheet,...) since accurate forecasting requires a long and stable operating history. Therefore a start-up must focus on the key metrics that show real progress in the search mode before becoming a stable business and use innovation accounting instead of traditional accounting as a framework for measuring performance.
The presentation covers the basics of being a data-driven organization, the difference between vanity, actionable and other types of metrics, why you should focus on one metrics that matter in different stages of a start-up, what are the common pitfalls when analyzing the data and how to use AARRR as the best framework for analytics, especially for web start-ups.
