ChartMogul

Get SaaS funding through ChartMogul analytics integration. Founderpath uses your existing MRR, churn, LTV, and cohort data to provide non-dilutive financing based on your subscription performance.

Connect Your Integration

Your SaaS Metrics Already Tell the Story. Now Use Them for Funding.

If you're using ChartMogul, you've already done the hard work of consolidating your subscription data into meaningful metrics. MRR trends, churn analysis, cohort retention, customer lifetime value—these aren't just dashboards. They're the proof that your recurring revenue business works.

Founderpath's ChartMogul integration lets you leverage that existing analytics infrastructure for funding. No need to re-export data or connect multiple billing systems. Your ChartMogul metrics become your funding application.

Why ChartMogul Users Connect to Founderpath

Skip the Data Aggregation

Already pulling data from Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, or other billing systems into ChartMogul? We read from ChartMogul directly, giving us your unified view of subscription performance without redundant connections.

Use Your Existing Metric Definitions

Your ChartMogul account has your specific MRR recognition rules, churn definitions, and segment structures. We use those same definitions for underwriting, so the metrics we analyze match what you already track.

LTV and Cohort Analysis Built In

ChartMogul's strength is subscription analytics beyond basic MRR. We use your LTV calculations, cohort retention curves, and customer segmentation to assess revenue quality at a deeper level than raw payment data allows.

What ChartMogul Metrics Drive Funding Decisions

When you connect ChartMogul, we analyze the same metrics you use to run your business:

Revenue Metrics

  • Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) and trends
  • Net MRR movements: new, expansion, contraction, reactivation, churn
  • Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for longer-term view
  • MRR growth rate and consistency

Retention & Churn

  • Customer churn rate
  • MRR churn rate (gross and net)
  • Cohort retention curves over time
  • Voluntary vs. involuntary churn breakdown

Customer Economics

  • Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)
  • Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA)
  • LTV:CAC ratio (if CAC data is available)
  • Customer segmentation by plan or cohort

Revenue Quality Signals

  • Customer concentration (revenue distribution across accounts)
  • Plan mix and pricing tier distribution
  • Geographic or segment-level performance

If you're already invested in ChartMogul as your subscription analytics platform, connecting it to Founderpath is the most efficient path to funding. Your metrics are ready; we just need access to read them.

ChartMogul vs. ProfitWell

Both ChartMogul and ProfitWell report subscription metrics, but they are no longer independent equivalents: Paddle acquired ProfitWell in 2022, and ProfitWell Metrics now sits inside Paddle's ecosystem. That shapes the trade-off.

FactorChartMogulProfitWell Metrics (Paddle)
CostPaid, tiered by MRRFree
LTVCalculated (ARPA ÷ trailing churn)Calculated
CACNot calculated — bring your own spendNot calculated
Multi-source aggregationStrong, many billing systemsNarrower
Segmentation depthCustom attributes and segmentsMore limited
Export / APIFull API and CSV exportMore limited

On LTV and CAC specifically. Neither tool derives CAC from billing data, because acquisition cost lives in your ad and payroll spend, not your subscription records. ChartMogul makes this explicit — it declines to compute CAC because definitions vary too much between businesses — and instead lets you attach your own attributes and segment on them. Its LTV is average revenue per account divided by a six-month trailing average of customer churn rate, so the number moves with retention rather than with a single good month.

Which to connect. If ProfitWell Metrics is your only analytics tool, connect it and skip the migration. If you need segment-level metrics you can export into a board deck or a cash-flow model, ChartMogul is the stronger source — and it is the one we can read the most detail from.

Beyond Funding: ChartMogul Insights for Growth

Even if you're not ready for funding today, connecting ChartMogul helps you understand which metrics matter for future capital raises:

  • Retention benchmarks: How does your cohort retention compare to fundable SaaS companies?
  • LTV trajectory: Is your customer lifetime value trending in the right direction?
  • Churn decomposition: What's driving your churn, and how does it impact funding eligibility?

These insights help you run a better subscription business and position you for stronger funding terms when you're ready.

ChartMogul aggregates subscription data from multiple billing sources (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, Braintree, etc.) into unified metrics. If you already use ChartMogul, connecting it gives us your pre-calculated MRR, churn, LTV, and cohort data without needing separate connections to each billing system. This is especially valuable if you have complex setups with multiple payment processors or custom metric definitions.
We analyze the same metrics you see in your ChartMogul dashboards:
  • MRR and ARR: Current values and historical trends
  • Net MRR movements: New, expansion, contraction, reactivation, churn
  • Churn rates: Customer churn and MRR churn (gross and net)
  • Customer Lifetime Value (LTV): Your calculated LTV metrics
  • Cohort retention: How well cohorts retain over time
  • ARPA: Average Revenue Per Account trends
No. We read your metrics via ChartMogul's API but do not store raw transaction data or customer details. Your ChartMogul account remains the source of truth for your subscription analytics. We only cache aggregated metrics needed for underwriting analysis.
That's the point. ChartMogul's strength is aggregating data from multiple sources. Whether you're pulling from Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, or custom integrations, we see your unified subscription metrics. This gives us a complete picture of your recurring revenue without requiring separate connections to each billing system.
Yes. If you've set up custom segments in ChartMogul (by plan type, customer size, geography, etc.), we can analyze segment-level metrics. This is useful if you want to highlight high-performing segments or exclude trial/free-tier data from your funding assessment.
Customer Lifetime Value is a key indicator of revenue quality. Higher LTV suggests customers stick around and expand over time—exactly what makes recurring revenue valuable. If your ChartMogul data shows strong LTV and healthy LTV:CAC ratios, you'll typically qualify for better funding terms and larger amounts.
Companies with at least $10,000 MRR tracked in ChartMogul typically see funding offers. However, we evaluate holistically—strong retention, growing LTV, and consistent expansion revenue can qualify you for funding even with lower MRR. Companies with $50k+ MRR and excellent cohort retention often access the best rates.
Because ChartMogul already has your metrics calculated and normalized, our analysis is fast. Most companies receive a funding offer within 24-48 hours of connecting. Once accepted, funds typically arrive in 1-3 business days.
Connect ChartMogul if:
  • You already use ChartMogul as your primary SaaS analytics platform
  • You have multiple billing systems aggregated in ChartMogul
  • You have custom metric definitions or segments configured
Connect billing systems directly if:
  • You don't use ChartMogul (we'll calculate metrics from raw data)
  • Your ChartMogul data is incomplete or not up to date
ChartMogul applies specific rules for MRR recognition, churn calculation, and other metrics. These may differ from raw billing data or other analytics tools. We use your ChartMogul metric definitions when you connect ChartMogul, so there's no discrepancy. The metrics we analyze are exactly what you see in your ChartMogul dashboards.
No full personal guarantees required. Founderpath financing is secured by your business assets and future receivables. This applies regardless of whether you connect via ChartMogul or directly to your billing systems.
Neither calculates CAC from billing data — acquisition cost depends on marketing and sales spend that never appears in your subscription records. ChartMogul declines to compute CAC at all, on the grounds that businesses define it too differently to standardise; you enrich customers with attributes and segment on them instead, then read LTV alongside your own spend figures.
  • LTV: ChartMogul calculates it as average revenue per account in an interval divided by a six-month trailing average of your customer churn rate
  • Cost: ProfitWell Metrics — owned by Paddle since its 2022 acquisition — is free; ChartMogul is paid
  • Export: ChartMogul offers full API and CSV export, ProfitWell Metrics is more limited
Choose ChartMogul if you need segment-level LTV you can slice and export into a board deck or cash-flow model. Choose ProfitWell Metrics if you want a free dashboard and can live without deep export.
ChartMogul groups customers by the month they first started paying, then tracks each group forward over time. You can read the result two ways:
  • Customer retention: the share of the original cohort still subscribed after N months
  • Revenue retention: the share of that cohort's original MRR still being paid — which can exceed 100% when expansion outweighs churn
The revenue curve matters most for funding, because it shows whether existing customers grow rather than merely stay. Founderpath reads those same cohort curves read-only when you connect ChartMogul, and uses them to judge how durable your revenue is instead of relying on a single month of MRR.
Yes. Many companies connect ChartMogul for subscription metrics alongside QuickBooks or Xero for accounting data, or bank connections for cash flow visibility. Multiple data sources give us a more complete picture for underwriting.
