An excellent read for every aspiring entrepreneur and fund manager. Dispeller of myths and focuser of truths - I have followed Elizabeth Yin’s (https://elizabethyin.com) writing for more than a decade. She clarifies opaque acronyms and articulates nuances. She democratizes company building and money making so even those without privileged backgrounds can thrive and succeed.
She is unambiguous in stating that her number one value-add is to be a cheer leader to her portfolio companies. We all need a coach; some of us are lucky to have Elizabeth as one.
Read this book and crystallize your understanding of unit economics, CAC, and LTV.
