Breadcrumb.vc’s metrics assessment

A few months ago, I launched the first template based on Breadcrumb.vc’s network effects frameworks. The goal of this template was to help founders, operators and investors evaluate the strength of network effects in an easy way. Based on the feedback and responses so far, it appears to have accomplished that goal. To build on this, today I’m launching the second template in this series. This one focuses on another area where I have received a high volume of queries — metrics.

Template #2: Metrics Assessment

The metrics assessment is a simple, 5-question quiz that gives you the key metrics to measure for any early-stage network effects product.

Founders and operators can use this quiz to:

  1. Quickly identify the key metrics you need to measure.
  2. Figure out what “good” looks like.

Investors can use this quiz to:

  1. Validate the traction of a new investment opportunity.
  2. Assess the performance of your portfolio companies.

You can take the quiz here or go to quiz.breadcrumb.vc/metrics. This is a v1, so please email me if you have any feedback.
