Ignore the really goofy and distracting pirate nonsense (am I just getting too old for this stuff?).
Via Rob Grady's blog (thanks, Adam), Dave McClure relives his childhood but has a good panel about start-ups and the metrics you should know/follow. This is from SXSW. Some of the slides are really really hard to read but if you are interested, all the contacts are inside the deck. Worth a quick scan as there is some great stuff in here.
hey Rick, thanks for the post.
btw, if you want the startup metrics highlights minus the excessive pirate theme (we went a little overboard for sxsw), a few of the earlier presentations i did are a little shorter / simpler.
see these 2 from last fall in seattle & this winter in UK:

(the pirates hook is just a mnemonic for the 5-stage AARRR model)
