“Buy as much as you can. Build one thing really well.” – Anton Vattay 💡

The fastest way to scale isn’t building everything from scratch. It’s knowing what NOT to build. Focus your resources where it counts. Save this before your next product roadmap session.

📊 KPIs = your startup’s health check.

They’re not just numbers. They’re your vital signs.
Healthy ranges show what’s working.
⚠️ Off-range? That’s your cue to act.

Here’s Batchery Mentor Alex Caveny sharing a smart way to think about KPIs and why they matter for founders.

Smart founders don’t just track metrics.
They interpret and adjust.
That’s how you build faster, smarter, stronger.

Turn your metrics into momentum.

Most founders are still using AI like a search engine.

But as shared, the real advantage comes from “context engineering”: teaching AI your business, workflows, goals, and even how you think.

The better the context, the better the output.

AI becomes far more powerful when it understands the environment around the problem, not just the prompt.

A great read for founders thinking seriously about AI strategy.

Investor KPIs vs. Internal KPIs

Same metrics. Different purpose.

Internally, KPIs help you spot problems and make better decisions.
For investors, KPIs tell a revenue and durability story.

Don’t guess your targets.
Ground them in CAC, ARPU, and payback, not intuition.

And remember:
KPIs aren’t fixed. As your product evolves, your metrics should too.

Stop Letting Metrics Mislead You

Founders often chase numbers that look good but tell the wrong story.

DAU? Too noisy.
WAU? Much smarter for real behavior.

Running a marketplace?
You need two sets of KPIs, one for each side.

And whatever you track…
define it clearly.
Undefined metrics get gamed, and bad decisions follow.

“Supporting features can be hacky at the start. Core pillars must be strong.” – Alex Caveny 💡
