Questions

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?

In my experience, VC's always want to know GAAP revenue because it's a way to compare apples to apples. We both know it's not perfect in that regard, and that cash is king, and they know that too, but that's the primary, standard metric.

The good ones want to see both, so they really understand the mechanics of the business.
