Startup Financial Dashboard

Your startup's vital signs in one view.

The Problem

Early-stage founders live in spreadsheets tracking MRR, runway, churn, and burn rate. It's error-prone, time-consuming, and doesn't update automatically. When investors ask for metrics, founders scramble to pull numbers together. Nobody has a real-time view of their financial health.

The Solution

Connect Stripe and your bank account, and see all your key metrics in one beautiful dashboard. MRR, ARR, churn, runway, burn rate—calculated automatically and updated daily. Share a view with investors. Get alerts when runway drops below X months.

How it works:

1

Connect accounts

Stripe, bank via Plaid

2

Auto-calculate

MRR, runway, burn rate

3

Monitor & share

Alerts and investor view
