Use data and analytics to show the potential of your company. KPIs will help your network understand your company's potential and expected return on investment.
CrowdWorks recommends choosing numbers that you can easily update every month, and that tell about the progress of your business to your investors. Add at least 2 metrics such as Revenue, Sales, Users, Burnrate or Runway. KPIs will be visible on the company dashboard in alphabetical order. It is recommended to update these numbers once a month.
You can choose which KPIs are visible only to your shareholders and board members and which ones are visible to followers.
