Hey Hunters!
We are @yaroslavazhnyuk and Alyona, co-founders of Fuelfinance.
At Fuelfinance we make finance fun and sexy for all entrepreneurs💚
38% of startups die because of running out of cash. That is insane. Imagine we were throwing out 38% of food or any goods we produce. Fuel’s mission is to save companies from financial mistakes that should not have happened. If we succeed in that, we can not only save a good chunk of GDP, but for some people — save their life’s work and avoid a lot of personal drama.
And today, we are proud to launch a very useful tool for all founders - our unique and easy Company Valuation Calculator based on an a16z article. Imagine that you can get your startup valuation just in a second, and be much more prepared for your next fundraising 💸
The story of creating this template started when Yaroslav tried to find a way to make a company valuation based on both revenue and profit margins. And then he discovered a brilliant article by a16z “When Entry Multiples Don’t Matter”. Just read this short part of it:
"To determine possible exit values for later stage companies, tech growth investors often focus on two key and interconnected questions: (1) How long could this company grow at high rates; and (2) What will its margin structure be over time?
And in fact, the answers to these questions — runway for high growth and long-term margin structure — will be key factors in how companies are valued"
Firstly, we tested this idea on Petcube, Fuel’s customer. We started to check different what-if scenarios. And GSheet template made our calculations much faster and easier. As a result, the founders got an understanding of both valuation and multiples’ role in this valuation. Moreover, it was a clear snapshot of hardware and software revenue impact on a valuation📊 Finally, it was a good exercise for understanding target KPIs. Now, Petcube’s team uses this template during strategic sessions to choose projects with the highest impact on valuation.
This template can help you and your team also focus on what really matters while playing with your figures to get the desired valuation. And it’s absolutely FREE for all Product Hunt community.
Hope you will fall in love with the beautiful financial language after using our Calculator.
We will be happy to answer all your questions and be your virtual CFO today🤓
Please let us know what you think, and may the PROFIT be with you💰
@roberjet From my experience, it's better to get 10–20 calls with investors, show them your product, traction, and ask about the average valuation of other companies in their portfolios with the same metrics. From All-in podcast and information by David Sacks average Seed valuation was $8-15M 3-4 months ago.
This sounds really useful especially if you're just getting a hang of your finances as an entrepreneur. I love the idea of adding fun and sexiness to otherwise scary and complicated stuff like maths. Congrats on the launch!
This is absolutely great tool to deal with finances, I feel that it would be easy to handle even to people who are not finance lovers 😃✨ Congrats on the launch! 🤗🥳✨
Congratulations on the launch of your Company Valuation Calculator! This looks like an incredibly useful tool for entrepreneurs and investors. I'm looking forward to hearing about the success stories it creates!
Also, we've been actively using this calculator to prioritize product features. For many companies - capitalization is the north star metric. Please, let us know if you evaluate feature's influence on company's capitalization when prioritizing your roadmap.
This is a fantastic tool for entrepreneurs to rapidly and simply obtain an estimated valuation. Both the explainer clip and the template are really beneficial. I really advise trying it out!
@yurij_riphyak cool😍I like how it helps to understand key priorities for business. Especially during this financial downturn when startup financial efficiency is back in fashion =)
@alexander_shatalin If I understand correctly from your website, deepcake.io is a B2B professional agency. In such a case, it's better to use another approach. You can schedule a call with me on our website. I will be happy to share best practice from my experience.
This is a great tool for startups to get an estimated valuation quickly and easily. The template and explainer video are both very helpful. Highly recommend giving it a try!
@alyona_mysko you've put so much ease to the life of future entrepreneurs by providing them this amazing product. Very well contributed to the startup society. Highly recommended, must give it a try🤩🦾
I wish I could architect such amazing things!
But I strategize and sell better :D
Why not let us handle the nitty-gritty while you concentrate on the real stars of the show — your business, product, and strategy? After all, that's why we're here! So kick back, relax, and watch us work our magic, while you focus on being the visionary leader you were born to be!

Awesome too, Alyonal! Our company is just sorting out domain names/ hasn't yet purchased a business email... Could I still get access to this free template through a personal email (e.g., gmail.com)?
