4. Headcount — Start/end of year, by department

Benchmarks by Company Stage

Stage	Revenue Growth	Burn Multiple	Rule of 40
Seed–A	100-300%	<2x	N/A
Series B	80-150%	<1.5x	>20
Series C	50-80%	<1x	>30
Growth	30-50%	<0.8x	>40
Scale	20-30%	Profitable	>40

Presentation Tips

• Lead with the story, support with numbers — Don't dump data. Frame each section around a narrative.
• Honest about misses — Credibility comes from acknowledging what didn't work.
• Forward-looking > backward-looking — Investors care more about where you're going.
• Consistent formatting — Same metrics, same definitions, year over year.
• One page per section — Force prioritization. If it doesn't fit one page, it's not tight enough.

Useful Formulas

text

Gross Margin = (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue
EBITDA Margin = EBITDA / Revenue
Rule of 40 = Revenue Growth % + EBITDA Margin %
Burn Multiple = Net Burn / Net New ARR
Magic Number = Net New ARR / Prior Quarter S&M Spend
CAC Payback = CAC / (ARPA × Gross Margin)
LTV = ARPA × Gross Margin / Monthly Churn Rate
