App Social Financial Model
You distribute your startup on Android and Apple stores and make money charging for in-app services. You have aspirations for virality to drive your user adoption.
Learn moreEcommerce 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 moreEnterprise 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 moreMarketplace 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 moreSaaS 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.
