Test Your SaaS in 1 Month - Part 4: Early CAC/LTV Analysis
Dive into CAC and LTV
Could this be the biggest disruption to Smartphones in the past 15 years? 📲
💥Heads up! There's a new disruptor in smartphones: Mode Mobile. Mode can turn your phone from a cost into an income source — and investors are watching the launch of the company’s pre-IPO offering.1
🤳Mode saw 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, ranking them the #1 overall software company on Deloitte’s most recent fastest-growing companies list. Mode’s flagship product EarnPhone, a budget smartphone, has already helped consumers earn & save $325M+.
🫴 Mode’s Pre-IPO offering1 is live at $0.25/share — 20,000+ shareholders already participated in its previous sold-out offering. There’s still time to get in on Mode’s pre-IPO raise and even lock in 100% bonus shares2 … but only until their current raise closes for good.
1 Mode Mobile currently has no formal plans for an IPO.
2 A minimum investment of $1,950 is required to receive bonus shares. 100% bonus shares are offered on investments of $9,950+.
3 Please read the offering circular and related risks at invest.modemobile.com. This is a paid advertisement for Mode Mobile’s Regulation A+ Offering.

Those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest in start-ups. Companies seeking startup investment tend to be in earlier stages of development and their business model, products and services may not yet be fully developed, operational or tested in the public marketplace. There is no guarantee that the stated valuation and other terms are accurate or in agreement with the market or industry valuations. Further, investors may receive illiquid and/or restricted stock that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns.

Welcome to Part 4! This week, we’re analyzing Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and Lifetime Value (LTV)—critical metrics for any SaaS business, including what we track at SellMyCompany.io.
Understanding CAC and LTV:
Keeping a close eye on these metrics helps ensure that your business is on a sustainable growth path:
Calculate CAC: Determine your total marketing costs divided by the number of new customers acquired.
Estimate LTV: Assess the total revenue generated from a customer throughout their relationship with your company.
Aim for a Healthy Ratio: A 3:1 ratio (LTV) is ideal for profitability.
📊 KPI Insight:
