EconomicoInvestor reporting
Answer investor questions from real numbers.
When an investor asks for burn, runway, ARR, MRR, or use of proceeds, answer from the same books that bill your customers and pay your vendors — generated on demand, not re-keyed from a janky master spreadsheet the night before.
Your investor update lives in a spreadsheet "linked to a big master spreadsheet… a little too janky to share"
That's how one founder described the file behind their board update — a tab wired into a bigger master sheet, held together well enough to read off but never clean enough to send. So the night before the call it becomes a frantic, hand-assembled deck: MRR and ARR copied out of one sheet, burn and runway out of another, everything re-keyed into slides that drift from reality the moment they're pasted. And the whole time you're bracing for the follow-up question — "what's your burn rate?" — you're not sure your own numbers would survive.
The board update should fall out of your books, not get rebuilt beside them
The numbers a board wants — MRR, ARR, burn, runway, concentration — aren't a separate reporting exercise. They're already implied by the invoices you sent, the revenue you recognized, and the bills you paid. Economico reads those straight from your accrual, GAAP-shaped ledger and computes the metrics on the spot, so the update is generated from your real numbers, not re-keyed into a deck. Nothing to reconcile back to a master sheet, because there is no master sheet.
You ask, in plain language, and read the metrics off the ledger
There's no dashboard and no investor portal — by design. You drive it through the agent you already use: ask for this month's board metrics and it pulls ARR, MRR, ACV, gross margin, burn, runway, and customer acquisition cost together, for a month, a quarter, or the year. MRR and ARR reflect what's earned — the way investors read them, drawn from recognized revenue and AR, not just what hit the bank.
- recognized revenue MRR $11,519 incl. usage at June's rate
- recognized revenue × 12 ARR $138,228
- committed bills − subscriptions Burn $3,281 per month, committed run-rate
- cash + burn Runway 3.1 mo at the committed run-rate
Give me this month's board metrics — MRR, ARR, net revenue retention, burn, runway, burn multiple, and whether we're default-alive — straight from the books.
Send a live link instead of last night's PDF
Once the numbers come off the ledger, you can put where you're going next to where you've been — runway and a forecast beside the trailing figures for a complete update. Then hand investors a live, revocable link to the reports instead of emailing another deck, so they read the current numbers rather than a snapshot that's already stale. Burn here is operating burn on an accrual basis; acquisition cost counts new customers by signup date. The month-over-month figures are real, not proxies: net new ARR split into new, resurrected, expansion, contraction, and churn — customer by customer — plus net and gross revenue retention, logo churn, burn multiple, and Rule of 40, with 12-month trend lines. Economico snapshots your recurring base as you go, so the history builds forward from the day you start, and every figure names its own caveats when the data can't fully support it yet.
"I already use Baremetrics or ChartMogul"
Those read your payment processor, so they show revenue metrics but not your expenses, burn, runway, or accrual books — half a board update, and the half an investor already assumes. Because these numbers derive from accrual, GAAP-shaped books — the same ledger your statements and year-end tie-out use — they hold up when the follow-up question comes. And if you're too early to have monthly updates yet: when you pitch, a VC still asks for burn, runway, and ARR, and you answer from the ledger instead of rebuilding it in a sheet.
