However, there are a number of metrics that every business owner should know, including cash flow, accounts payable, accounts receivable, direct costs, operating margin, net profit, and cash burn rate.

As a first time founder, having a few million dollars in the bank after a successful seed raise may seem like a huge amount of capital, and it’s easy to lose discipline around your burn rate.

If you interpret that last sentence as “Hunter doesn’t care about burn rate” or “VC thinks founders should be spending whatever they need to grow” you’re incorrect. That deserves a separate blog post. Their investor updates lead with cash on hand and months until cash out as the top line KPI.

Considering Facebook’s scale, the company is now in the business of operating power plants to operate its servers, therefore, Schippers estimates that Facebook has a $30 million dollar monthly burn rate just for hosting. Suddenly, those multi-million dollar financing rounds that startups raise don’t seem so outrageous! 4) WhatsApp.

Many startups focus on growth (instead of profits) and often need to track KPIs that may be different from those used by established businesses: Burn rate : indicates the company’s negative cash flow or how quickly it’s spending money. Activation rate: measures how many visitors are engaging with your website or app.

If your first resort when you have trouble raising money is to complain about New York on a tech blog, you’re really doing yourself a disservice in the relationship building area. If you want to build your startup in the middle of nowhere and optimize purely for low burn rate, then sure, I’m sure you could work more cheaply elsewhere.
