For Karnataka’s startup ecosystem, sustainability goes beyond funding- it’s built on metrics that define long-term success. Understanding the balance between Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and Lifetime Value (LTV) is crucial for founders aiming to scale efficiently. When LTV > CAC, startups move from survival to strategic growth. Through the #StartupPolicy, KDEM empowers entrepreneurs with the insights, frameworks, and ecosystem support needed to build financially resilient ventures.
