No finance background needed. The Launch Plan walks you through it in this order, and the SAMPLE files show what a finished version looks like at every step.
11 files in step-numbered folders, so you always know what to open next. Every workbook comes as a filled-in SAMPLE and a BLANK to build in.
This list is what our refund policy means by “as described”.
The Launch Plan is the PDF that walks you through the Lite kit. These are its real pages. Swipe, or tap the page edges to turn.
Every tab has a menu on the left, live figures and charts at the top and the detail below. You type in the yellow cells; everything else calculates and checks itself.
Your plan at a glance: revenue, EBITDA, cash, runway and health score, live from the model.
This calculator is a simplified version of one part of the kit, running live. The full page has the formula and a worked example.
Loopdesk, a fictional SaaS startup, starts with $16k MRR and $250k in the bank. The model shows a lowest-cash month without new funding, sizes a $1.5M seed to cover it plus a buffer, and reaches about $11M revenue by year 5.

No. You type into the yellow cells and everything else calculates. The Lite kit includes a Launch Plan that walks you through your first session, plus a filled-in SAMPLE file so you can see what good looks like before you start.
Yes. The workbooks are built for Excel 2016+ and Microsoft 365 and also open in Google Sheets and LibreOffice. In Google Sheets the clickable side menu doesn't work, so you use the tab bar instead. Every formula still calculates.
Checkout is handled by our payment provider. Right after payment you get an email with your download link. The files are one zip with step-numbered folders, so you always know what to open next.
No. It is an educational planning kit. It can't know your full situation. Have a qualified accountant review figures used in filings, and a startup lawyer review any investment documents before you sign.
Yes, within 14 days, if a file is broken, a feature doesn't work as built, or something listed for your kit is missing. Tell us what's wrong and we'll try to fix it first; if we can't within 3 business days, you get a full refund. Refunds aren't given for a change of mind or because the kit doesn't suit your business, so please use the previews before you buy.
