8 Essential Metrics Tips for #SportsTech Startups
As an educator preparing the next generation of SportsTech #entrepreneurs and Berkeley Changemakers, I'm always on the lookout for valuable resources to share with my students in my course, "SportsTech: Entrepreneurship & the Future of Sports" offered by the UC Berkeley Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SCET), in the UC Berkeley College of Engineering. "The Ultimate Guide to Startup Metrics" by Speedinvest Pirates is such an excellent resource for any founder navigating the world of entrepreneurship, but below are the tips I'm sharing with my students on how they can apply the guide's principles to their SportsTech ventures:
(1) Define your North Star Metric: Identify the core value your product provides, such as number of workouts completed, performance improvement, or platform usage. Align your team around this metric.
(2) Pre-Seed: Build, Measure, Learn: Create your MVP, onboard early adopters, and gather feedback. Track pilot customers, engagement, and qualitative insights to refine your offering.
(3) Seed: Show Product-Market Fit: Demonstrate traction with metrics like monthly active users, conversion rates, retention cohorts, and early revenue. Validate your market fit.
(4) Series A: Optimize Unit Economics Dive into your business model and track CAC, LTV, LTV:CAC ratio, MRR growth, and gross margins. Illustrate a path to profitability.
(5) Know Your Segments! SportsTech often spans B2C (athletes) and B2B (teams, gyms). Measure what matters for each segment to drive growth holistically.
(6) Retention is Crucial! Analyze user retention by signup cohorts. Strong engagement and retention validate your product's sticky factor and long-term value.
(7) Blend Hardware & Software Metrics: If your venture has a hardware component, separate it from recurring software revenue in your reporting. Investors value the predictability of subscription revenue.
(8) Leverage Brand & Community: In SportsTech, brand, content, and community are powerful assets. Track social engagement, brand searches, and other top-of-funnel metrics.
The guide's core principles - defining a North Star, tracking key product and revenue metrics, and demonstrating a path to profitability - are essential. However, I'll encourage my students to tailor the specific metrics to what matters most for their SportsTech ventures, especially around engagement, community, and blending B2C and B2B models.
By aligning their metrics with the milestones that resonate with SportsTech investors, they'll be well-positioned to attract the right partners to help them scale.
What do you think, Danny Cortenraede and Ashley DeWalt? Thanks, Rubén D., for posting this excellent resource.
