The Startup Station Services
Services
The Startup Station provides customized financial modeling and business strategy advice to startup founders. We help founders evaluate the financial feasibility of their business plan, convert it into a financial model that they can use not only to value their company for a financing round, but also to track their progress and to be able to react timely to market feedback.
We can audit and refine existing financial models or create new financial models from scratch. We also help clients better understand their ICO’s tokenomics and assist with White Paper creation and revision.

Our Process
-
Evaluate
We begin by evaluating your business. We review your marketing and financial plans, market and competitive research, as well as any other relevant data. We focus on your revenue streams, pricing strategy, costs, and any interdependencies related to the product development timeline and go-to-market strategies.
Next, we identify gaps that need to be filled, and create a detailed roadmap that will serve as a guide to creating a financial model and a valuation for your company.
-
Formulate
All of the research specified in the roadmap is conducted by either you or The Startup Station in the second step of the process. We use the research results in order to create all of the necessary assumptions for your financial model.
We clarify your revenue streams (launch timing, pricing strategy, and variable costs), marketing strategies for each revenue stream, your operating costs, working capital (i.e. capital required to operate your business day-to-day), and fixed asset requirements (i.e. computers and any other equipment you may need).
-
Model
The third step of the process is conducted by The Startup Station. We create the following:
Monthly revenue forecast, Monthly variable cost forecast, Monthly or yearly salaries forecast, Yearly operating budget, Monthly working capital projections, Monthly fixed asset projections, Yearly Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statements, Use of Funds, Yearly Free Cash Flow forecast, Valuation, Financial summary with all the key ratios and financial metrics specific to your business, and a Break-even analysis.
-
Analyze and Refine
In the last step of the process we analyze the results and, if necessary, make adjustments to the model in order to ensure the resulting forecast is conservative, accurately reflects your strategy, and positions you in the best light for investors.
