Workshop
Whatever you’re building—SaaS, marketplace, or D2C—the math per customer decides your runway. In this fast, hands-on 30-minute sprint, we’ll cut through the noise and focus on the four numbers that matter most: Contribution Margin (CM1), CAC, LTV, and Payback. In plain language, we’ll show how small shifts in pricing, retention/repurchase, or acquisition efficiency change your trajectory—from cash flow to fundraising story.
