Lenny's Newsletter - Choosing Your North Star Metric
Hey there, This is just quick email to let you know I wrote a guest post for Future (a16z’s new media site) that I’m pretty excited about. It’s a guide for helping you choose your North Star Metric(s), based on a survey of current and past employees at over 40 of today’s most successful growth-stage companies. Check out the table below for a glimpse of what you’ll find. Your North Star Metric is your strategy, and your strategy is your North Star Metric. I hope this guide helps you choose wisely.
If you have any feedback, questions, or thoughts, I’d love to hear it in the comments. Have a fulfilling and productive week 🙏
