Our take
For startups, finding a successful business model and streamlining investors is often the key to building a scalable company. But without early backing from investment organisations and entrepreneurs, many companies fail to get off the ground and don't reach the potential they could have achieved given the right funding.
Standard Metrics (formerly known as Quaestor) is an investment platform for startups and investors in the private capital markets. Using automated data, Standard Metrics is enabling financial transparency between startups and investors and empowering founders to make better decisions when scaling their companies.
Having led successful funding rounds with investors such as 8VC, Alpha Edison, January Capital, and First Trust Capital Partners, Standard Metrics is using the capital gained to further develop its software platform and scale its network of investors and private companies, both domestically and internationally.
