Financial Metrics That Drive Funding

Revenue Growth

Consistent month-over-month revenue growth signals healthy demand. We look at trajectory, not just current revenue.

Gross Margin

Higher gross margins indicate pricing power and operational efficiency. We analyze margin trends over time.

Operating Leverage

How do expenses scale with revenue? Improving operating leverage is a positive signal.

Cash Runway

Months of cash at current burn rate. Longer runway reduces funding risk.

AR Aging

How quickly do customers pay? Faster collection improves cash flow and funding terms.
