Abstract

Running a startup or scaling up a business is akin to successfully landing or taking off an aircraft. Measurement systems help the company to know the course, correct direction and speed necessary to have a safe flight. A simple set of integrative financial and non-financial measures, both leading and lagging indicators are required for the board and executives to guide the company. In this paper we detail financial and non-financial measures that may be used by startups and scaling up companies.
