Show IH: I built a Stripe metrics dashboard in Excel instead of paying $49/month for Baremetrics

I've been running Corvidet , a Stripe revenue intelligence SaaS, and in the process I've talked to a lot of bootstrapped founders about their metrics.

Almost every one had the same problem: they didn't actually know their real numbers. Not because they were lazy. Because the tools are either too expensive, too complex, or overkill for where they are right now.

Baremetrics is $49/month. ChartMogul is $99/month. For a founder doing $1K–$5K MRR, that's a significant chunk of margin going to a dashboard.

So I built one in Excel.

It's called Founder Dashboard PRO. Here's what it calculates automatically from a Stripe CSV:

→ MRR (properly prorated — annual subs ÷ 12)
→ ARR
→ NRR and GRR
→ Cohort retention matrix (M1 through M12)
→ Churn analysis (logo + revenue)
→ Revenue segmentation by plan and country
→ SaaS Health Score (0–100 across 5 dimensions)
→ Bear/Base/Bull scenario planner
→ Runway calculator
→ Industry benchmark comparison

You paste the CSV, set your month in one cell, and all 23 sheets update.

Two tiers:
→ STARTER — $19 (19 sheets, core metrics)
→ PRO — $29 (23 sheets + scenario planning, runway, benchmarks, future updates)

The honest context:
I'm a solo founder building in public. Day 1 of selling. I'm posting everything here as I go, what works, what doesn't, what I learn.

If you're a bootstrapped founder who wants to know your real metrics without the monthly subscription, this is for you.

Happy to answer any questions about the metrics calculations or how it's built.
