Automated portfolio benchmarking gives me a clear view of how our portfolio companies stack up month-over-month. I can easily identify outperformers and underperformers. An added benefit — it also surfaces potential data anomalies that may need further investigation or validation.

One of the main drivers for our selection of Standard Metrics was the teamʼs longer-term vision of providing relevant benchmarking data for private early-stage businesses, across varied sector and stages. The ability to reference the performance of our existing portfolio across a globally relevant peer set is hugely valuable internally for our QIC Ventures team and externally for our founders.

Global Benchmarking brings powerful signal and context to what were previously individual analyses. By combining the right metrics with the right peer groups, Standard Metrics has reset the bar on creating a single source of truth, for both investors and portfolio companies.

At Pave, we deeply believe in using benchmarks to make tough decisions with confidence. This is why we’re thrilled to have access to Standard Metrics’ benchmarks to ensure we’re optimizing for the right degrees of innovation vs. financial balance. Having trustworthy data is is vital.

The new benchmarks feature is priceless for me as a founder. Iʼve been working towards a significant transaction and needed comparative and reliable data. The results I got were spot on.

The Standard Metrics Benchmarks tool has helped us evaluate our overall operating plan against a broader external data set – this has helped us drive better decisioning as an organization.
