Quick walkthrough
Here's me explaining the video fairly briefly and pretending to enjoy it (All videos will be updates)
Who the heck is hawking me a financial model!?
Hey! It's me Alexander Jarvis. I like Excel and I love SaaS.
- I'm the #1 seller of startup financial models in the world
- Worked in M&A (Lazard financial institutions group)
- I intimately know startup and what VCs care about having done both for over 10 years
- TEDx, Top Quora Writer, accelerator mentor, fund advisor etc
- I don't like bragging, so just read my blog and download free tools to see if I know what I'm talking about
- I made the first version of this model for my own $20m raise
Free training course
I've made an 24 part training course to help you hit the ground running (It's also free)
There are a lot of cool features under the hood
An insightful and useful model needs to work for you, not against you.
My models do require thought on inputs, but there are 37 sheets to support you to derive all the outputs that you need without any coding.
On this page I'm going to very briefly allude to some of the functionality on each sheet so you have an idea what's going down in funky town.
37 sheets
There are lots of sheets in the model. Check out what they are so you can get an idea of what's in there. It's a list from the model with just one brief line per sheet. Writing this stuff is boring and know you don't want to read it either. Just saying.

Details on the model
FAQ
Want this model in a different currency? Now you can!
Convert all currencies in the model into one of 17 different currencies with a button mash
This model uses formatted currencies in $ (Why I use US Dollars). I often get asked if it is available in other currencies such as €? So I made an Excel PC addin to do that (It was hard!)
At the press of a button you can now convert the model into 17 different currencies. You just need to purchase the productivity addin.
Here are the currencies you can use with the macro:
Currency list | The format you will see |
EUR | € |
USD | $ |
GBP | £ |
YEN | ¥ |
INR | ₹ |
Krone | kr |
BAHT | ฿ |
RUB | ₽ |
Peso | ₱ |
BRL | R$ |

All my favourite hacks and time saving tools in one place
More than likely, you aren't a huge Excel nerd like me, so you probably don't know about macros? These are hacks to make modeling in Excel much more faster and less painful. I love them!
I've been making models for years, so you can be sure I know what is useful and what is not. I decided to not just make the currency conversion macro, but add in all my most used hacks. You just hit a button and it will do handy things.
What can you do?
- Automatically format your cells so they have 'investment banking' standard black, blue and green
- Change the zoom and cell position of every sheet so it looks great when others read it
- Save a backup of your model (v1, v2, v3) at the push of a button so you never get a corrupt model
- Add error checks to your formulas
- And a whole bunch of other nerdy things you'll understand when you are making models yourself!
NOTE:
- This is for PC. Gates hates Mac so.... All the plugins other than 'check sheet sizes' work in Mac, but I don't warrant anything if you are on Mac (Sorry). I'm trying to find a developer to rewrite the code for Mac so the images, tips etc work too
- Currency conversion only works on 50Folds models. It won't on any other model (My code looks for certain cells... There is a hack- ask if you want to know)

Hi – If I have a long sales cycle business and I also have customers like a normal saas will this work for me? Thanks Alex

Hey Simon- Absolutely. The model is massive. It covers both what I call SME and enterprise customers.
– Your SME are going to be monthly/annual types of customers.
– Your enterprise are long sales cycle customers which you will define and ideally have some sort of line of sight.
You can cover pretty much anything SaaS in it.
If you have any qu, email me.

Alexander. Interesting. I have been looking for a model to do enterprise and have not found one. I have a complicated business, can this do everythihng I need?
Author
Hi Chirayu – Sorry for delay. No model will be able to do everything you can think of, but this will do a lot. I made it for a real fundraise and a growing company selling large tickets. I can tell you that it does a hell of a lot! It took me months to make… FML 😉 Any questions message me.

Hello Mr Alex. If i get the model, can i pay you to help me make do what I need ti to?
Author
Hi Anuj- Sure thing. I do this a lot. You can book me on https://www.alexanderjarvis.com/50fold-me, or message me and I can help you build any changes you need. Cheers, Alexander

Does this work in Excel?
Author
Hi Jane – Yes. It is made in Excel. Don’t put this in Google Sheets. It’s too large. GS makes sense when you want to share simple stuff with team. This model is when you want to do something complicated. It’s complicated, but it beats the hell out of attempting to do yourself! It was painful to make…
Hi Alex does it work for actual figures too? I need to track the monthly expenses and actual revenue / costs and summarize these figures in a single view
Thanks
