Raising Investment: The Numbers VCs Actually Care About

About This Learning Path

VCs look past the pitch deck straight to the numbers. You'll learn which metrics matter most (unit economics show if your model works, growth rates show traction, burn rate shows runway), how to present them without lying, what a term sheet actually means, and why cap tables and dilution matter more than the headline valuation. You'll understand LTV:CAC ratio (lifetime value to customer acquisition cost — is your business profitable at scale?), why a VC cares about your "magic number" (how much revenue growth per dollar spent), and how to recognize a term sheet that's actually fair.
