For startup founders

Turn your business idea into a three-way financial forecast
in minutes, not days.

A linked Profit & Loss, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet, built in Excel for 50 AUD a month.

The stuck point

“I have a business idea,
but I don’t know how to make a financial model to show it.”

Pellucid turns your understanding of the business into a financial forecast — without requiring you to become a financial modelling expert.

Save time

Create a financial forecast in minutes, rather than spending days modelling in Excel.

Know your numbers

Turn business assumptions into a linked P&L, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet.

Make better decisions

Explore scenarios to understand profitability, cash requirements and the impact of business decisions.

Your path

You focus on the business.
You control the investor conversation.

Most startups do not have a history to import. You answer questions about the business, and that is enough to start.

  1. Answer questions about the business

    Customers, pricing, staffing, and expenses. You stay with what you already know.

  2. Pellucid builds the model

    Your answers become the inputs, and you can see what was taken. P&L, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet are linked from those inputs.

  3. Answer the investor from those inputs

    You know which assumptions produced the numbers, so you can speak to cash, funding, and profit with confidence.

  4. Change an assumption in the conversation

    Show a lower price, a later hire, or slower sales. The scenario and the sensitivity update in the same file, so you control the discussion.

A worked example

One price.
Then wages, cash, and runway.

Illustrative: a subscription startup

You say

“200 customers pay $49 a month. I am about to hire.”

  • P&L
  • Cash Flow
  • Balance Sheet

What you can answer

The questions a raise
actually turns on.

  • How much cash will I have in 12 months?
  • When will the business become profitable?
  • How many customers do I need to break even?
  • How much funding will I need?
  • What does one more hire do to cash?
  • What happens if sales are 20% lower than expected?

The file you send

Investors get Excel
they can open.

They get formulas they can inspect, not a slide of totals. Your workbook is not stored, and it is not used for training.

You own the Excel

Change an assumption yourself. Share the file. There is no proprietary modelling format to explain.

Aligned to the FAST Standard

The workbook follows the FAST Standard — Flexible, Appropriate, Structured and Transparent — so the layout stays consistent as the story changes.

Your data stays in the workbook

No training on your numbers. No stored copy of the spreadsheet on our servers.

Pricing

A three-way forecast in minutes,
for 50 AUD a month.

A linked Profit & Loss, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet, built in Excel.

The same forecast takes days to build by hand. From a blank sheet, about two weeks. A professional modeller still spends at least two days.

Asking Claude or ChatGPT for a spreadsheet still leaves you unsure what was hardcoded, why a formula is there, and how to change an assumption.

Build it yourself

Days in Excel, before the three statements hold together.

About 2 weeks
from a blank sheet
At least 2 days
for a professional modeller

Ask Claude or ChatGPT

A spreadsheet in minutes. Then uncertainty about the model you were given.

Hardcoded numbers
Which figures were typed in, and which ones move.
Unexplained formulas
Why this formula is used, and what it assumes.
Changing an assumption
You have to find where it lives before you can move it.
Someone else's model
You still have to learn it, and it may not scale or add to the financial insight you already have.
