GOALHOW TO USE
17
Goal of this model is to create an easy way for anyone to model a startup business. The model uses external market data where applicable and estimates when necessary. You should adjust all metrics and inputs to fit your business.

A full guide to getting started with the model is at https://foresight.is/start

Questions, contact me by email (hello@foresight.is), livechat (on website), phone, WhatsApp or text (all 646.770.0052) - I’m happy to help. I do my best to respond promptly and advise on how to use the templates for your usecase, and I’m happy to take a look at your model to make sure you are using it correctly for your situation. You can also schedule time to chat or a screenshare at https://foresight.is/schedule		1) Each sheet is independent of each other, and all can be safely deleted to only keep the sheets you want to use.
2) Many sheets are hidden by default - simply right-click or command-click on a tab, select Unhide from the menu, and unhide the sheet you want to use
3) Any number in blue with grey shaded background is an input (i.e. an assumption or data point that can be changed), anything in black is the result of a formula. Change blue at will, change anything in black with caution.
4) All cells and formulas are unlocked - as in all Foresight models - so that you can make edits as needed and completely understand what is going on.
5) All assumptions are illustrative ONLY, do not assume they are market data or standard.
6) As with all templates, feel free to create your own model from scratch, using this as a guide.
7) The model is constructed to fit a wide variety of businesses, and therefore, some sections may or may not be relevant to yours. I have grouped together sections on all sheets so that you can review different sections and see all the possibilities, but also easily hide the sections not relevant for you. Simply click on the "+" button on the left-hand side to unhide a section, and click on the "-" button to hide it.
