Everything You Need to Know

Unit economics are the direct revenues and costs associated with selling one unit of your product. For a physical product startup, the key metrics are: gross margin (selling price minus COGS, expressed as a percentage), contribution margin (gross margin minus variable sales costs), customer acquisition cost (CAC), customer lifetime value (LTV), and the LTV:CAC ratio. Healthy unit economics are the foundation of a scalable business.
