What’s Inside?

In the last 2 months, I spoke with 25+ founders who have built successful companies to find if there are average metrics that we can apply on any startup. The main goal of the exercise was to find patterns among the different startup stories.

  • What does it take to build a successful product?
  • How much time do entrepreneurs spend to get to market fit?
  • How much investment on average do entrepreneurs do on MVPs?
  • How many iterations of the product’s founders do before they get to market fit?

About the data

The yardstick to consider a company successful is tricky since companies can be considered successful or unsuccessful on different parameters. Profitability, number of users, usage etc may not hold true for all companies and would depend on their business model, domain and stage of their business.

Hence, we picked funding amount as the parameter to validate success as it is one parameter consistent to prove that the startup did make a successful leap. We considered startups that have raised funding in the range of 1M-10M USD in the last 3 years.
