Investor Connect Podcast

Evaluating the Startup’s Metrics

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

In reviewing a startup, ask the founder or CEO for the metrics they use to guide the business.

Check for these points in their metrics:

  1. Do they have a key set of metrics? Many startups aren’t tracking anything.
  2. Is the metric appropriate for their type and stage of business?  
  3. Do they have too many metrics? If there are too many, then it will be hard to gain traction on any one of them.
  4. Is the metric specific or general? The metrics should be specific.
  5. Are the metrics actionable? One should be able to make decisions on them.
  6. Are the metrics realistic? You should be able to implement programs and activities based on them.
  7. Do the metrics cover a specific timeframe? Metrics without a timeframe are meaningless.
  8. Do the metrics compare with industry standards or the competition? Performance will vary based on the sector and stage you are at.

Use the startup’s metrics as part of your investment decision.


Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Let’s go startup something today.

On this episode of Investor Connect, Hall welcomes Devin Miller, Founder of Miller IP Law and Host of The Inventive Journey Podcast.

Headquartered in Mountain Green, Utah, and founded in 2019, Miller IP Law is a law firm that assists startups and small businesses with patents and trademarks across the US and worldwide. Miller IP Law is changing the law firm model to make patents and trademarks approachable, affordable, and understandable by providing transparent flat-fee pricing, easy-to-reach attorneys, and easy processes.

Headquartered in Morgan, Utah, guests on The Inventive Journey Podcast share the journey that led up to the founding/co-founding of the startup or small business. The show focuses on the journey rather than a pitch for the services/products the startup/small business may offer. 

In addition to his law firm, Devin also founded his first startup while earning his Law & MBA degrees (for a total of 4 degrees). Since then, he has founded several 7 & 8-figure startups in wearables, product development, website design, and religious products.

Devin speaks about the role of intellectual property in the startup world, the driving trend in this space, and if he could start a company today, what it would be.
