You are more likely to fail than succeed, that is the reality of every entrepreneurship. You lose everything before you realize it's not the ability to take the risk but being calculative about it. 50Folds has helped me and still is in my journey of having built 6 products so far and learning every single day to take better decisions on my gut. I'm immensely grateful to Alex to share actionable workbooks that help you execute and are not just mere advice

Alejandro does it again!!! He provides free information that not only saves time but also thousands of dollars. The knowledge that I have gained from his free material is helping to shape my deal. As Alejandro says "keep hustling".

App Social Financial Model

Ecommerce Financial Model

For ecommerce startups that sell physical goods such as fashion, food, supplements. Ship from your own warehouse. This was originally based on a fast fashion ecommerce startup I invested in. It's not a marketplace model.

Learn more

Enterprise SaaS Financial Model

You're a complex enterprise SaaS startup with a complex sales process. You might have enterprise, consumer and SME customers (Don't need to do all 3 but they are there). You are also a nerd that knows what they need as this is a huge model. I built a basic version of this for my own enterprise raise so it's not airy fairy.

Learn more

Marketplace Financial Model

Startups that are a real marketplace. There is both a supply and demand side (Both are modelled specifically). Think Etsy, eBay, Uber etc. The model covers listings, ads, member, payment, transaction, and affiliate revenue streams. This does not do 3 sided marketplaces. I made a basic and advanced version. The advanced has a lot more functionality.

Learn more

SaaS Financial Model

SaaS startup with monthly and annual contracts. Self-onboard and sales supported customers. Think Buffer, Zapier, Hubspot, or Xero. Cohort model with all the capability you expect including expansion revenue, churn and full marketing funnel. If you are in SaaS this is a no brainer model for you. Get the enterprise SaaS model if you have a long sales cycle though.
