Startup team optimization metrics that investors evaluate:

X. Revenue per employee (RPE)
- Industry benchmarks vary, but SaaS startups should target $200K-$400K
- Clear indicator of operational efficiency

X. Retention metrics
- Employee tenure >24 months signals stability
- Executive team stability particularly crucial

X. Skill distribution
- Technical:Non-technical ratio (typically 3:1 early-stage)
- Leadership depth scoring

X. Collaboration metrics
- Sprint velocity consistency
- Cross-functional project completion rates

These metrics directly impact valuation discussions. Track them before fundraising.
