The data problems that slow down growth-stage companies
Scattered CAC, invisible LTV, and reporting built for the board meeting rather than daily decisions. Here is how Alpomi solves each one.
CAC is scattered across channels
The problem
You run Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and maybe TikTok. Each platform reports its own customer acquisition cost using its own attribution window. Blended CAC hides which channels are actually efficient. Investor updates need per-channel numbers you cannot get.
How Alpomi helps
Alpomi unifies ad spend and conversion data across all platforms into one true CAC per channel. One consistent attribution window applied everywhere. No more blending numbers from five different dashboards.
In practice
- True CAC by channel with one attribution standard
- Per-channel CAC comparison in a single view
- Investor-ready CAC reporting without manual work
LTV and CAC never line up in one view
The problem
Finance has the LTV data. Marketing has the spend data. The two never meet in one place. You cannot answer which channel drives the highest LTV customers without hours of manual work joining spreadsheets, and even then the numbers are out of date.
How Alpomi helps
Connect your revenue data to your ad platform data in Alpomi. See CAC by channel alongside cohort LTV so you can optimise for payback period and long-term revenue, not just the cheapest click.
In practice
- LTV by acquisition channel in one view
- Payback period per channel calculated automatically
- Optimise for high-LTV customers, not just low CAC
Scale paid without scaling headcount first
The problem
You are growth-stage. You cannot hire a data analyst before you know paid works. But without clear data, you cannot prove paid works or make the right scaling decisions. You need clarity first, headcount second.
How Alpomi helps
Alpomi is built for lean teams. Quick setup, clear dashboards, and AI recommendations that surface the actions you need to take without needing to build your own analytics stack first.
In practice
- Set up in hours, not weeks
- AI recommendations without an analyst
- Board-ready reporting from day one
Built for growth-stage companies scaling paid
Six capabilities that give SaaS and startup teams the CAC and LTV clarity they need to scale paid efficiently. See the full SME feature set.
CAC by Channel
True customer acquisition cost per channel with one consistent attribution standard. Stop blending numbers that hide where your budget actually works.
- CAC by channel with consistent attribution
- Per-campaign and per-ad-set CAC breakdown
- CAC trend over time by channel
- Identify most efficient acquisition channels
- Investor-ready CAC reporting out of the box
Stop telling investors your blended CAC. Show them exactly what LinkedIn, Google, and Meta each cost per customer, with one consistent methodology.
LTV and Payback Period
Connect your revenue and retention data to your paid acquisition spend. See which channels drive long-term customers, not just cheap signups.
- LTV by acquisition channel
- Payback period per channel calculated
- Cohort analysis by acquisition source
- Identify high-LTV customer channels
- Optimise budget for payback, not just CAC
Discover your LinkedIn customers have 3x the LTV of your Meta customers despite twice the CAC. The economics justify the budget shift.
Unified Growth Dashboard
All your paid channels in one dashboard. Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok. One view of CAC, spend, and conversion across every platform.
- All paid channels in one view
- CAC and spend comparison by channel
- Conversion and signup tracking across platforms
- Daily, weekly, and monthly trends
- Custom views for founders and investors
Open one dashboard every Monday to see CAC, spend, and conversion across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn. No tabs, no exports, no reconciliation.

- Automated weekly reports across all channels
- Board and investor format included
- CAC and LTV metrics reconciled automatically
- Custom date ranges and channel filters

Your board pack arrives the morning of the meeting, automatically, with CAC and LTV by channel in a consistent format every time.
AI for Growth-Stage Companies
AI recommendations built for lean teams. Budget shifts, creative alerts, and scaling opportunities surfaced without needing an analyst to find them.
- Budget reallocation recommendations by channel
- Creative fatigue alerts before performance drops
- Scaling opportunities flagged automatically
- Anomaly detection when CAC shifts unexpectedly
- Channel-level efficiency opportunities
AI notices your LinkedIn CAC has improved 30% over three months and recommends increasing budget before your next funding announcement.
Budget Pacing for Runway
For growth-stage companies, budget pacing is critical. See exactly where you are against monthly budget in real time. No surprises at month end.
- Real-time budget pacing per channel
- Monthly burn rate visibility by platform
- Overspend alerts before they become a problem
- Runway-conscious budget management
- Channel-level budget vs actual comparison
See mid-month that Google is pacing to overspend by 60% while LinkedIn is underspending. Rebalance before the end of the month to protect your runway.

Hours back every week
Automated reporting replaces manual exports from Google, Meta, and LinkedIn every week. Spend that time on testing and optimisation, not on data collection.
Runway-conscious budget management
Real-time budget pacing with overspend alerts. For growth-stage companies where every pound of runway matters, knowing exactly where you are mid-month is not optional.
