## About the company

Supermetrics connects more than 70 marketing-data sources to spreadsheets, BI tools, and data warehouses. It gives marketers and analysts a managed integration layer for bringing fragmented campaign data into the reporting and analytics tools they already use.

The company serves a large self-serve customer base as well as enterprise buyers, with data-warehouse integrations creating a clear upsell path. Its deck cites 14,000-plus customers, 2.2 times year-on-year growth, and a 35% profit margin, so segment mix matters to the plan.

The model separates SMB and enterprise cohorts, tracking customers, pricing, warehouse upsell, and churn. Connector costs, product-led acquisition, sales hiring, gross margin, and operating expenses test how the established subscription base supports continued profitable growth.

## What's included

- 5-year monthly revenue build with stage-appropriate growth assumptions
- Full P&L, headcount plan, and operating-expense schedule
- Cash-flow statement, runway, and burn-rate tracking
- Valuation via exit multiple with a DCF cross-check
- Returns analysis with MOIC and IRR
- Unit economics including CAC, LTV, payback, and cohort retention

## Product & value proposition

- Automated data pipeline pulling from 70+ marketing sources (Facebook Ads, Google Ads, etc.) into destinations: Google Sheets, Excel, Data Studio, Tableau, Qlik, Power BI, Google BigQuery, Supermetrics API.
- No-code; targets non-technical marketers and "citizen data scientists".
- Key differentiators: high-quality connectors (clean/unsampled data), zero data storage (data moves, never sits in Supermetrics systems), no new platform to learn.
- Next strategic bet: Marketing Data Warehouse - investing heavily to make data warehousing accessible to marketers.

## Market

- 7,000+ data sources exist in the marketing tech landscape - used to frame problem scale.
- €28bn+ in ad spend processed through the platform - signals the scale of customer budgets flowing through.
- No explicit TAM/SAM/SOM figures in deck.

## Revenue model

- Subscription SaaS - users pay per product/connector (inferred from product-suite structure: Supermetrics for Google Sheets, for Excel, for Data Studio, API, for BigQuery).
- Two product tiers implied: (1) Spreadsheets & Dashboards (self-serve, lower ASP), (2) Data Warehouses & BI tools (API + BigQuery, higher ASP / enterprise).
- Specific pricing tiers, ARPU, or contract lengths not shown in deck.
- Distribution channel: primarily product-led / marketplace-led (Google Workspace Marketplace: 359 ratings, 371,610 users on Google Sheets add-on alone).

- Implied ARPU: €21M ARR / 14,000 customers = ~€1,500/customer/year.

## Recommended financial model

- **Archetype + why:** SaaS ARR model with two segments (self-serve SMB / enterprise). Revenue is purely recurring subscription; 2.2x YoY growth, 14k+ customers, and a 35% profit margin make a standard SaaS ARR waterfall the natural fit. The data warehouse expansion (slide 13) adds an enterprise upsell motion worth modelling separately.

- **Forecast horizon & granularity:** Monthly for Year 1–2, quarterly for Years 3–5. Five-year horizon appropriate for a growth-stage SaaS at this scale.

- **Key drivers & assumptions:**
  - ARR starting point: €21M
  - YoY net new ARR growth rate: 120% in base year (back-calculated: 2.2x growth implies ~120% YoY);; assumed to decelerate to 60% / 40% / 30% in Y2–Y4
  - Paying customers: 14,000+; blended ARPU ~€1,500/yr
  - Two customer segments: (1) Self-serve / spreadsheet products (lower ARPU ~€500–800/yr, ~80% of customer count); (2) Enterprise / data warehouse + API (higher ARPU ~€5,000–15,000/yr, ~20% of customer count)
  - Operating (profit) margin: 35%
  - New customer adds: driven by PLG / marketplace; model as % of existing base + paid acquisition
  - S&M as % of revenue: ~15–20% (consistent with 35% profit margin if G&A + R&D take the remainder)
  - R&D / headcount growth: scale with revenue; new warehouse product investment implies elevated R&D spend in near term
  - FX: Revenue reported in EUR; no FX complexity flagged in deck

- **Scenarios (Base / Bull / Bear - which variables flex):**
  - Base: ARR growth decelerates from 120% → 60% → 40% → 30% → 20%; NRR 115%; profit margin holds ~30–35%.
  - Bull: Data warehouse product lands enterprise contracts driving ARPU expansion; NRR 125%+; growth sustains 80%+ for 2 years.
  - Bear: PLG growth slows as Google Marketplace matures; churn rises in SMB tier; growth decelerates faster to 30% by Y2; margin compresses to 20% as warehouse investment ramps.

- **Required sheets / outputs:**
  1. Assumptions - all drivers with Base/Bull/Bear toggles
  2. ARR Waterfall - opening ARR, new business, expansion, churn, closing ARR; split by segment
  3. P&L - Revenue, Gross Profit, S&M, R&D, G&A, EBITDA
  4. Customer Cohorts - customer count by cohort-year, churn, NRR
  5. Unit Economics - ARPU by segment, blended CAC, LTV, payback
  6. Dashboard - KPI summary (ARR, MRR, customers, growth, Rule of 40 score, profit margin)
