About this template
Track a startup's financial health: burn rate, runway, gross margin and CAC payback. Designed for teams in the Tech industry, the model pre-wires 4 key metrics — including Burn rate and Runway — analyzable across 3 analysis axes (Month, Category, Revenue source). You start from an already-bounded base (units, aggregations and business labels defined) rather than a blank sheet.
This is a complete SAC template kit for Startup finance — burn & runway: sample data, model definition, KPI dictionary, a step-by-step import guide (matching the current SAC screens) and a dashboard blueprint — recommended calculations with ready-to-paste SAC formulas plus a layout that follows universal dashboarding rules. Import the "Data" sheet into SAC Modeler (Create New → Model → Start with data → File), check the 3 dimensions and 4 measures, then build a professional Story in minutes using the blueprint. The dataset contains 720 to 960 rows of realistic sample values for the Tech industry, available as .xlsx (7-sheet workbook), .csv (flat table) and .package (ZIP with model.json, data.csv, README and licence). You supply and validate your own figures.
