Kindling Investment Partners is Proud to Congratulate Portfolio Company, Caliber, on Absolutely Stellar Q3 2023 Results and YTD Progress

I’m excited to report that Q3 was another strong quarter for Caliber.? Double-digit growth in both active app users and 1-on-1 coaching members resulted in a 24% increase in total sales for the quarter.

A key driver of our performance in Q3 was a material improvement in our conversion rate to paying coaching members, one of our top priorities for the quarter.? Better merchandising of coaching throughout our experience, the launch of several top-requested features and an attractive mix of marketing channels contributed to a 28% improvement in conversion rate to Premium Coaching among app users.? This win drove another quarter of improved marketing efficiency.? We are now generating a profit net of marketing on our first 3-month coaching package sale, allowing us to confidently invest in marketing to grow the business.

Exiting Q3, our coaching business has never looked better.? We are attracting world-class talent to the team, equipping our coaches with the technology they need to maximize their impact, and changing the lives of our members as a result.? The best evidence of this is our Net Promoter Score for Premium Coaching, which hit a record high of 82 among iOS members, and 77 among Android members in recent weeks.

For Q4, our priorities remain as follows:

  1. Grow Caliber app users.? Our formula for growing revenue is proven and predictable.? When we grow active app users, we grow coaching members.

  1. Further improve conversion rate from free to paid.? We saw the impact of moving this metric in Q3, which not only drives revenue but also improves our marketing efficiency, creating a positive feedback loop for the business.

  1. Increase AOV + LTV on coaching members.? In response to user feedback, we will be launching additional paid options as part of our Premium coaching packages, which we expect to improve both AOV on new package sales and LTV among coaching members.
