Pearl Lemon Consulting is called when international trade becomes a hurdle, when tariffs and compliance feel more like a burden than a solution — and when leaders are fed up with consultants who leave them with a slide deck and no tangible results.
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

How do you calculate LTV and CAC for pre-revenue startups?
We use proxy models based on industry benchmarks and channel performance patterns, applying assumptions grounded in your pricing model and churn projections.

A 3-way integrated financial model: P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, with driver-based inputs tied to operational KPIs.
Can you restructure my cap table post-angel round?
Yes. We provide cap table restructuring guidance to improve investability—this includes equity cleanup, option pool reallocation, and scenario planning with dilution analysis.
How do you approach CAC benchmarking for niche SaaS?
