Hey fellow Makers šŸ–ā¤ļø, Finally the day has come I have been working towards for almost a year. Over the past years, I have helped 200+ founders craft their perfect pitch deck and fundraising strategy. But one area that always felt a little rudimentary was the financial model. The process of building a well-structured, easy to use, and accurate financial model can take you dozens of hours if not days - so we decided to do most of the work for you. Today we are launching our first three Financial Model Templates: šŸ–„ SaaS šŸ’… DTC / eCommerce šŸž Plain Version Our goal is to guide you through the whole process of putting down your thoughts into a solid financial plan for the future of your startup.
šŸ’” Easy to understand & Edit šŸ“Š Beautiful charts & projections šŸ“‘ Financial Statements šŸš€ Happy planning! I hope you enjoy this resource and get some value! Let me know any feedback you may have and feel free to share the word about it! All the best, Max

Hey PH! Financial model templates for startups are usually heavy + complex. I like this model because it's lightweight, while robust enough for serious investor talks. If you're a tech founder building your first forecast, I highly recommend it! :D

Hey guys. It's looking good, really. Congrats. But why is this template for $79-$99 better than @finmark-1 for $25/mo by @ramiessaid that makes financial modeling easier and eliminates the need for complex spreadsheets? Or @pry that makes the same things?
Maximilian Fleitmann

@shashcoffe Hey Alexey, thanks for asking. As always in life there are different approaches. If you like using a SaaS instead of working in Excel that's totally fine and I am sure there are also tons of other valuable templates for Excel or Google Slides out there. In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves which model he/she likes most. That's why we offer a free download to get a sense of the functionality. When we were building our model we were thinking of what we would have liked back when raising funds and for us, it was important to have a great design, much flexibility but still an easy-to-use sheet.

@finmark @ramiessaid @pry @shashcoffe The problem is most VCs demand a spreadsheet and refuse a SaaS tool. Look at the comments on this Reddit thread, it's pretty clear: https://www.reddit.com/r/venture... In a perfect world, you could (a) build your model in a SaaS tool and (b) export it as a spreadsheet for stubborn VCs.
