How to get Excel financial model for SaaS startup in 5 min

We have noticed that SaaS startups founders spend too much time trying to make financial projections and we are here to help!

What is the solution?

We have created Financial model generator that asks questions as normal person and then uses these assumptions to generate simple financial model to evaluate how much such a business could cost in 3-5 years from now. You could download this model in Excel and play with assumptions to see how your company value changes.
