FOR EARLY STAGE SAAS FOUNDERS

SaaS founders know your numbers before your next pitch

SaaS founders often don't know their actual LTV, CAC, or payback period. After you connect your billing data, you'll have those answers ready whenever investors ask.

The Problem: SaaS Math in the Dark

You built a product. You have paying customers. But when someone asks "What is your unit economics?", you either do napkin math or admit you don't actually know.

Most SaaS founders operate blind on the metrics that matter: lifetime value per customer, the real cost of acquiring them, how long until your CAC breaks even. Spreadsheets go stale. Dashboards cost $500/month. Manual calculations are error-prone and lag by weeks.

The result: you make hiring, marketing, and pricing decisions without the data to back them up. You leave money on the table. You compound errors into quarter-end surprises.

What Unit Economics AI Does

  • Connect your payment processor (Stripe, Paddle, custom webhooks)
  • Automatically calculate LTV, CAC, and payback period daily
  • Segment metrics by pricing plan, customer cohort, and geography
  • Alert you when LTV/CAC drops below threshold
  • Export reports in 30 seconds
  • No spreadsheet maintenance. No refresh delays. No manual inputs.

How It Works

1. Connect Your Data

Link your Stripe, Paddle, or Wave account in 2 minutes. Authorize once. We sync continuously.

2. Choose Your Metrics

Select which SaaS metrics matter to you: CAC, LTV, payback period, churn, COGS, retention cohorts, viral coefficient. We calculate the rest.

3. Watch Metrics Update Live

Every time a payment lands or a customer churns, your metrics shift. You see it happen. No delay. No guessing.

4. Collaborate and Decide

Share dashboards with your team. Export monthly reports. Use the data in board meetings, pitch decks, or 1:1s with your advisor.
