Hello, PH Community! 👋 My name is Caya (you may recognize me/Slidebean from our YouTube videos on startups). Back in 2016, we published a Medium article and included a free copy of the financial model template we had been using for our budget. We sort of forgot about the article, but fast forward a few years, and it's been downloaded by over 50,000+ startups. As runway became a new concern/priority for startups, we've been working on simplifying it, making it more intuitive, fixing a couple of bugs, and properly documenting its functionality with some video tutorials + a knowledge base. We've also added new features like a cash flow dashboard, a cap table, and an earnings-per-share estimation. And we've, of course, kept it as a free resource! Our goal here is to demystify spreadsheets and startup budgeting. I genuinely believe this is a crucial document/tool for founders: so many of the companies I connect with don't have enough oversight on their expenses and their runway, or can't easily estimate revenue for their next quarter. After ~10 years of overcoming budget crunches with our own company, the spreadsheet we use (which is still a version of this one) is a trusted advisor I review at least a couple of times per week.

Great content as always Caya 🙏
