Standard Metrics

h/t to the team at Aleph that posted this meme that’s making all of us laugh today at Standard Metrics. 😂 There’s a deeper insight here though: spreadsheets are incredibly powerful and flexible analytical tools. Some analysis and modeling will likely always be easiest and best in a spreadsheet-type tool. However, spreadsheets are not databases. Our approach at Standard Metrics with our VC/PE customers that rely heavily on spreadsheets: put data at users’ fingertips via our Excel plug-in. If there’s a use-case we can’t support in-app, they can perform exactly the analysis they need to with fresh, updating data pulled from a purpose-built time series database. Ultimately, data needs to live where it will be most impactful for customers — in a SaaS application, in a spreadsheet, in a data warehouse, etc. But the ideal isn’t a hard-coded value — it’s a data point that ties back to a true database / system of record.

Thanks for the user love, Irys Placida Kornbluth and Nathan M.! We’re glad to give you time back to focus on building your businesses at Standard Metrics. We're fortunate to work with 7,000 amazing startups and growth-stage companies to streamline investor reporting. More at standardmetrics.io 🤝❤️

We closed another $1B VC as a customer at Standard Metrics today. Before us, they were collecting and analyzing data from their portfolio manually. The VAST majority of VCs still don't use software to manage their core business data. If this is you, you're not alone! Come talk to us: https://lnkd.in/g3McXHVG
