Created by ex-finance professionals
Hey, I’m Alex and I created Finamodel.
Over my years in the finance industry I kept building the same models over and over again. Same structure, same assumptions, different logo. So I started building frameworks to turn them into clean, reusable templates.
Every model here is one I’d actually use for a client, and I personally vet each one before it goes up.
I’m not an expert in every industry, but I’ve built enough models to know what belongs in one. And when something is completely foreign to me, I reach out to my network for experts to work on our models with us.
Having a template library on hand cuts a first build from hours to minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How do these templates help with VC fundraising?+
Investors expect to see a standard, spreadsheet-based financial plan during due diligence. These models give you a structured format that VCs recognize instantly, showing ARR builds, cohort retention, and margin layouts without forcing them to learn a proprietary SaaS dashboard UI.
Which template should I use first if we are preparing for a pitch?+
If you need a complete view for a Seed or Series A round, start with the Startup Financial Model. If you need to quickly check cash survival limits and burn scenarios, start with the Runway Model. If you're negotiating terms and dilution, download the Cap Table or SAFE calculator.
Do I need a strong finance background to customize these?+
No. The spreadsheets are designed with a clear structure where assumptions are isolated. As long as you know your business inputs (like hiring timeline, customer acquisition costs, and server bills), you can plug them directly into the labeled cells.
Can I customize these for specific SaaS or Marketplace metrics?+
Yes. The sheets are fully unlocked. You can download the SaaS MRR/ARR model for recurring revenue cohorts, or the Marketplace model for take-rate and GMV structures, and plug them straight into your core operating model.
What conventions do these models use for formatting?+
Each model follows professional standards: blue text for hardcoded inputs/assumptions, black text for formulas, and green text for sheet-to-sheet references. This makes it extremely easy for a VC associate or board member to audit your model.
