It is important to measure what you treasure.
However the concept of pairing metrics is equally important. Otherwise the power of what is being measured will become the entire focus.
Pairing metrics combine quantity with quality. Like speed of improvement with safety, or quantity of burgers processed with quality of the assembly process.

Then... consider bringing in a sales VP that can responsibly scale.

I think you are wrong. The entrepreneurs that intuitively knew this, without reading a blog post about it, were the ones that also got funded.
So hopefully others that don't know this, can adjust their behavior, and possibly have a chance at getting funded.

Re:Ask HN: What makes you happy?
