One of my favorite @stripe charts => Charging customers is one of the strongest possible signals to know if you're building something people want (to pay for). Excitingly, our data shows Atlas startups are doing so increasingly earlier in their startup lifecycle: nearly 1 in 4 companies get their first paying customer within 30 days of incorporation, up 3x since 2021. We'll keep a look out on the correlation of early monetization and finding product-market; we'll report back!
