Comment on Ask HN: what level is "traction"?

Comments

As far as I can tell, "traction" is a synonym for "the VCs I play golf with have heard of you" -- social proof and all that. But I'd also love to hear opinions from people with direct experience here.

In addition to the already stated metrics of #users, #payingusers, #visitors, and %conversionrate, I'd hope VCs would look at $revenue, $profit, and %monthlygrowth.
