								## Pirate Metrics
							 | 
						|||
| 
								 |

|

								Dave McClure identified five high-level metric categories critical to a startup’s success: 
							 | 
						|||
| 
								 | 
							
								Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue, Referral. 
							 | 
						|||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						|||
| 
								 | 
							
								He coined the term “Pirate Metrics” from the acronym for these five metric categories (AARRR).
							 | 
						|||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						|||
| 
								 | 
							
								In their book Lean Analytics, Croll and Yoskovitz interpret these metrics visually as a funnel:
