Product Metrics That Attract Investors

When: Thursday, November 21, 2024 from 12:00pm - 1:00pm ADT

Where: Volta, 1800 Argyle St., Unit 801, Halifax, NS or Virtual via Zoom (if you register for a virtual ticket, the Zoom details will be included in your confirmation email)

Description:

Startups are often advised that the “only” thing they should be focused on is Product-Market Fit (validation). The Volta Market Traction Milestones are designed to guide startups in their journey to Product-Market Fit. Each milestone has objectives and measurable outcomes for validation in order to reduce the risk of investing in growth too early. These measures aren’t only to help you know what’s working and not working, but the data you capture in validation will be the key reason investors will be interested in you.

Join us for this session to learn about the metrics you will need to successfully pitch investors and why starting to capture them now is key to your success.

If you are a startup working on your MVP or trying to get to your first few customer deals, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about the measures that matter most; metrics that show you what’s working and that will get investors knocking on your door when you are ready.
