How to use benchmarks without fooling yourself
Benchmarks are compiled from public industry reports and vary by sector, geography and market cycle. Use them to understand where you stand and which story to lead with, not as a pass/fail test.
Investors care about trajectory: a metric moving from below median to above median over three quarters is often more persuasive than a single great number.
Frequently asked questions
What metrics do Series A investors look for?
Strong revenue growth, solid gross margin, good retention (NRR around 100%+), efficient growth (burn multiple under ~2x) and enough runway, plus a large market and a strong team.
Are these benchmarks specific to India?
They are broad ranges for venture-backed tech startups. Indian companies are often benchmarked against similar ranges, with some sector-specific differences.

Lead with your strongest metrics, explain the plan to fix the weak ones and show trend data.
