Identifying the KPIs That Matter Most for Your Startup

Startups generate plenty of data, but only a few numbers actually drive growth. We help you identify and prioritize the KPIs that matter most for your business model—ensuring your team focuses on metrics that guide smarter decisions.

MRR, ARR, and revenue growth rates
CAC, LTV, and payback period
Churn, retention, and customer profitability
Gross margin and contribution margin
Labor efficiency and unit economics

Tracking the right KPIs keeps your startup aligned, accountable, and growth-focused.

Pricing Strategy, Unit Economics & Margin Structure

Startups often struggle with pricing—either undervaluing their offering or not understanding true delivery costs. We help Athens founders analyze revenue models, customer behavior, and cost structure to develop pricing that supports healthy margins and long-term sustainability. Whether you’re SaaS, B2B services, DTC, or product-based, we ensure your unit economics make sense for scaling.

Operational & Financial Systems That Grow With You

Scaling requires structure. We help Athens startups implement the financial systems and reporting processes needed to grow efficiently. This includes clean bookkeeping frameworks, chart-of-accounts setup, KPI dashboards, monthly reporting rhythms, and internal controls.
