SaaS Metrics 101
summary
Covers how subscription businesses turn monthly fees into profitable customers by measuring ARR/ARPU and computing LTV = ARPU ÷ churn, uses examples like HubSpot and Salesforce and cites typical exit multiples near 5x earnings. Shows concrete math: $50/mo across 150 users, a 13‑month average lifetime, churn sensitivity where 1–6% monthly churn massively changes LTV, and compares CAC (example $400 acquisition) against lifetime revenue to decide whether an acquisition channel or segment is viable.
