Reporting Made Simple
Megan Carter, NY
I stopped chasing numbers across separate files and had one clean place for statements and charts. It cut my review prep by 2 hours and made the whole model easier to share.
Easy Enough To Use
Daniel Brooks, CA
I’m not a modeling expert, but the layout made the formulas and assumptions easy to follow. I built the forecast without outside help and had a meeting-ready version the same day.
Hours Back In My Week

Building the financials from scratch was eating up too much time. This template saved me most of a workday and let me focus on the pitch instead of spreadsheet setup.
Model review
What is the financial model of a crowdfunding platform?
This editable five-year collective financing model workbook comprises the acquisition of sellers and buyers, revenue from transactions, subscriptions, additions and confirmed financial statements with monthly and annual details.
Use the book to plan the two-way crowdfunding market by combining acquisition budgets, user levels, ordering behavior, transaction economics, subscriptions, additional sellers, costs and financing with financial results.
Editable operational assumptions are the source of monthly calculations, while scenario checks and reporting visions translate this information into revenue, profitability, cash flow, balance sheet and management results.
Built for market planningThe revenue programme separates the seller's acquisition from the buyer before the merger of transaction fees, subscription fees and seller's surcharges.
Motorisation of collective financing by revenue
How does the crowdfunding platform calculate revenue?
The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, converts the active buyers' cohorts into orders and GMV, and then adds monthly seller commissions, subscriptions and supplements.

02
Level Cohort
Designate new sellers and buyers at each level and hold the cohorts for the life of each level.
03
Building Order

04
Calculate the fee
Conversion of orders to GMV at the buyer's AOV level, followed by the application of interest and fixed commissions.
05
Total revenue

Product adjustment
Is the financial model crowdfunding platform right for you?
A ready-made model matches the markets using the provided bi-lateral acquisition and monetization logic; structurally different revenue, operations or reporting may require individual modelling.
Model ready
It fits perfectly
You buy sellers and buyers separately with the appropriated budgets and CAC assumptions.
Buyer levels lead to recurring orders and AOV, whereas seller levels support subscriptions and additions.
Revenue combines transaction commissions, subscriptions and additional services to the seller.
You want low, basic and high cases plus integrated financial statements and management.
Order structure
Think about the model
Your market doesn't use vendor and buyer cohorts as the primary operating structure.
Your revenues require a significantly different transaction, subscription, allocation or time logic.
Your operations require specialized timelines beyond the model's confirmed introductions and market costs.
The reporting requirements require a significantly different baseline structure or decision analysis framework.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
Financial modelling service for orders
