That's a $1.5M investment up front. Maybe it will make you 10% more efficient, but I have to look at all of the different things I could spend $1.5M on. Hopefully there's something in there for a growing company with an expected IRR of more than 10% over 18 months.
In parallel, how many months of runway do you have? I'm guessing it's not 18, much less the 36+ you'd want to really see those benefits pay off even if it were the most efficient use of the capital.

- mabbo 12y agoI'm talking about a 100 person office, not some start-up living off VC. At 100 people, you're going to be spending $10m on salaries alone each year. $1.5m isn't nothing, but it's close. And for a company with 100 employees, a 10% gain for that price is worth every penny. Mind you, the 10% figure is totally made up. Maybe it's 50%, maybe it's 0.5%. But if I had to guess a number, I'd call it 10% on average.
