With Founders
Data culture starts at seed
Tools, rituals, and peopleware to scale data-driven decisions from the seed round.
Seed founders often believe they need to wait until Series A to structure data. In reality, a well-orchestrated minimal stack is enough to enable better decisions.
- Lean instrumentation. Capture essential product events—no more than 15 per funnel—connected to a lightweight, accessible warehouse.
- Hybrid data squad. A part-time embedded analyst plus a technical operator safeguards governance without bloating payroll.
- Weekly rituals. Metrics live inside OKRs, dashboards, and the conversation. Meetings without data get rescheduled.
With this setup, portfolio companies anticipate churn risks, accelerate the roadmap, and tell stronger stories in future rounds. Data is not a luxury; it is the engine that turns instinct into execution.
