Question
Counting sales as revenue doesn't work in GAAP but do VC's care that sales and revenue are different and do they use revenue and sales interchangeably?
Answer
I see Sales and Revenue as the same thing. I think when you say Sales you are referring to Bookings? We track bookings (signed contracts) and GAAP revenue by customer. I think it is important to track both and you will be asked for your average ARR or MRR per customer and even a waterfall of GAAP revenue by customer.
