Does anybody need help building their initial financial model?

Hi all,

I was actually inspired to do this from a previous post by @PiyushDinde but with my own skill set.

Would anybody be interested in saving time by receiving a custom built financial model for their startup, free of charge?
From talking to a lot of aspiring entrepreneurs or early stage founders, it seems like the biggest value add is helping explain and translating their business model into financial terms. The second biggest value add is having a tool to plan/track operations, marketing, sales and connecting it to the financials with the fundamental SaaS metrics.

A little background on me. I'm a finance leader for high growth startups. Some companies I've worked with range from $1B+ valued organizations to seed to series A companies. Industries range from SaaS, consumer electronics, e-commerce, retail, to B2B services.

This can go 2 ways:
1.) Send me a link to your startup, revenue model, and main channels for acquiring customers - I can whip something up
2.) Message me and we can set up a 30 min chat in the next couple of weeks

Thanks!

EDIT: Currently dealing with wild fires in my state so might be slow getting back to these requests as I tend for the safety of my family.

    Hi Michael, I am interested in a financial model for my startup: boostlane.com

    Bootlane is the social platform for e-commerce. It will have 3 revenue streams: automated support services for sellers, advertising and sales fees. For now the only revenue stream is the services offered to online sellers because the platform is still under development. Let me know if you have time for this one. Cheers.

    PS. I am also looking for editors for thematic pages on BL. Editors will eventually receive a share of the advertising revenue generated by a page. As a finance guy with startup connections, perhaps you would be interested in editing and contributing to a page like this one: https://boostlane.com/h/financial or https://boostlane.com/h/startups

      Hi, this sounds interesting. Let me brainstorming on this revenue model and get back to you. Where are you getting customers now?

        My current clients are long terms clients who found me or were recommended to me to solve their e-commerce multichannel issues. My focus is on developing the platform with a few customers because it's less stressful to build and make mistakes with a few people involved.
