AN AWESOME EXCEL MODEL FOR STARTUPS
Forecast a 2-sided online marketplace
Marketplace
Ecommerce startups that are a real marketplace. There is both a supply and demand side (Both are modeled specifically). Think Etsy, eBay, Uber etc. The model covers listings, ads, member, payment, transaction, and affiliate revenue streams
Massive and complete
128,189 formulas across 29 sheets
Heavy lifting done for you
You only need to input your assumptions into the yellow boxes. The model is fully integrated across sheets with smart automations inbuilt to help you to scale up and down
For those that want to impress
This is larger than your CFO or investor has ever seen. You will level up your marketplace KPI knowledge as you learn to get the most out of it
Excel model
Designed for PC (will work on Mac). Not coded for Google Sheets
This is NOT for wannabees
This is for grown ups that want to take their marketplace seriously. If you want a model to quickly fill in "because an investor asked for one" don't go here
It is 100% worth every cent
2 reasons: 1/ you couldn't even hire someone to make this, 2/ it's not a model- it's a structured learning process. You need to use it to understand what I'm saying
This is for all kinds of marketplace companies that have "two sides". Supply and demand sides are modelled out. Choose to include 5 revenue streams on the demand side and 3 on the supply side. Model registrations and marketing costs simply then convert them to customers. 3 years (36 months) of detailed P&L for actual, forecast and combined, as well as cash based analysis. Manually plan out your hiring schedule simply. Tonnes of charts and KPIs. Unique source and use sheet illustrates your plan for your pitch deck. And a lot more...

Quick walkthrough
Here's me explaining the video fairly briefly and pretending to enjoy it
Who the heck is hawking me a financial model!?
Hey! It's me Alexander Jarvis. I like Excel.
- I'm the #1 seller of startup financial models in the world
- Worked in M&A (Lazard financial institutions group)
- I intimately know startup and what VCs care about having done both for over 10 years
- TEDx, Top Quora Writer, accelerator mentor, fund advisor etc
- I don't like bragging, so just read my blog and download free tools to see if I know what I'm talking about
Free training course
I've made an 11 part training course to help you hit the ground running (It's also free)
There are a lot of cool features under the hood
An insightful and useful model needs to work for you, not against you.
My models do require thought on inputs, but there are 29 sheets to support you to derive all the outputs that you need without any coding.

FAQ
Want this model in a different currency? Now you can!
Convert all currencies in the model into one of 17 different currencies with a button mash
This model uses formatted currencies in $ (Why I use US Dollars). I often get asked if it is available in other currencies such as €? So I made an Excel PC addin to do that (It was hard!)
At the press of a button you can now convert the model into 17 different currencies. You just need to purchase the productivity addin.
Here are the currencies you can use with the macro:
Currency list | The format you will see |
EUR | € |
USD | $ |
GBP | £ |
YEN | ¥ |
INR | ₹ |
Krone | kr |

All my favourite hacks and time saving tools in one place
More than likely, you aren't a huge Excel nerd like me, so you probably don't know about macros? These are hacks to make modeling in Excel much more faster and less painful. I love them!
I've been making models for years, so you can be sure I know what is useful and what is not. I decided to not just make the currency conversion macro, but add in all my most used hacks. You just hit a button and it will do handy things.
What can you do?
- Automatically format your cells so they have 'investment banking' standard black, blue and green
- Change the zoom and cell position of every sheet so it looks great when others read it
- Save a backup of your model (v1, v2, v3) at the push of a button so you never get a corrupt model
- Add error checks to your formulas
- And a whole bunch of other nerdy things you'll understand when you are making models yourself!
NOTE:
- This is for PC. Gates hates Mac so.... All the plugins other than 'check sheet sizes' work in Mac, but I don't warrant anything if you are on Mac (Sorry). I'm trying to find a developer to rewrite the code for Mac so the images, tips etc work too
- Currency conversion only works on 50Folds models. It won't on any other model (My code looks for certain cells... There is a hack- ask if you want to know)
Need something basic?
I've made a bare bones version of the model. The "Basic Marketplace Model"
