Revenue, churn, burn and headcount, posted in public by the people they belonged to. The riskiest thing a founder can post and consistently one of the best-performing, which is the entire argument for building in public in one board.

A recent YC startup spent 250k on a domain. I was slightly shocked. But when I asked how much they raised after YC, the answer was 6.5m. So 1/26 of their round. This is the time we live in; one shocking number counterbalances the other.
