Hello everyone, my name is Larson Stair, and I'm the CEO of Gondola. We've been using Forecastr for the past three years and couldn't be happier with what Steven, Logan, and the team have built. It's been instrumental in helping me raise $4M in VC capital, run over a dozen board meetings, and keep my investors up to date on our financial progress. I can't recommend Forecastr enough!

This is a platform that can make all the difference for startups! Not only does it bring full transparency of the health of the startup and help with its direction, it also can improved the confidence that investors will have in you as you fundraise. Also the team is amazing and really looking to make the best product and experience possible.

As someone who works with early stage startups daily, I can't recommend Forecastr enough. The team is incredibly supportive and the product is incredibly powerful. We've used Forecastr in our own startup to make big decisions (with confidence) and map out our pathway to profitability. So great to see this!

Cannot recommend Forecastr enough. It's a must-have for any founding team. The onboarding experience alone was worth every penny. Not only is the software intuitive and foolproof for a co-founder who isn't a financial expert, they have a tremendous knowledge of benchmarks, industry standards, and common sense starting points for all kinds of line items that founders need to consider. I'll never use anything else.

As someone with no experience or interest in building financial models, Forecastr made this necessary and valuable process easy, clear, accessible and most importantly educational. One year into working with Forecastr, I enjoy not feeling the weight on my shoulders which I felt when I first started out going it alone, and this alone makes the service worth it. The team is incredibly customer-centric and it shows in their product and support.

I have been a client of Forcastr since 2021, and they have changed my business for the better. Their team has a deep understanding of financial projections, and they use advanced analytical tools to provide accurate information for my young CPG business. Forcastr has been incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. They take the time to listen to our concerns and tailor their services to meet our specific requirements. Forcastr is always available to answer questions and provide guidance, which has been invaluable to me. On every call with my analyst I ask him to join us full-time but he declines which means Forecastr is a great company to work for which makes me happy as a client to hear.

Previously worked at a couple of Startups that failed. Looking back at why they did, the number one reason is we didn't have a solution like Forecastr. Cashflow management and properly understanding runway is so crucial as it impacts a lot of other decisions. Most Startups cannot even build a Finance department until they get to late stage. Try to encourage every Startup I encounter to give them a try.

We're huge fans of the Forecastr team and product. Talk about a refreshing approach to financial modeling, Forecastr has delivered real value to our company and to me personally through their online modeling solution. On top of their great product, I couldn't be more impressed with their team. They're constantly looking for customer feedback to improve their product. Needless to say, Forecastr is awesome!

Overall: My overall experience with Forecastr was highly satisfactory. Their support in financial modeling was tailored to my needs and budget. The 4-week process was well-structured, and the onboarding was effortless. I now feel empowered to manage my budget and finances independently, thanks to Forecastr.

The key features of Forecastr include: Simplified Financial Modeling: Forecastr aims to simplify the often complex task of creating financial models, which are essential for startup planning and fundraising. Customization: The tool allows founders to build custom financial models tailored to their specific business needs. Guidance: For premium users, Forecastr's analysts work alongside founders to provide guidance and support in creating accurate and effective financial models. Free Templates: In the spirit of generosity (#GiveFirst), Forecastr offers free financial model templates that founders can use directly in Excel or Google Sheets. These templates can be a valuable resource for startups looking to create financial projections, budgeting, and fundraising plans. They can help founders better understand and communicate their financial outlook to potential investors and stakeholders.

Hi folks, I'm Al Bsharah, 20+ year founder and Managing Partner at Interlock Capital. I first met Steven and Logan back in 2019 when they first started Techstars Anywhere in San Diego. I've invested via Interlock 3 times since. Can't say enough good things about this team and how they've grown their business. They're the real deal, genuine, hungry, and care a lot about serving their customers. It's been awesome watching their journey and growth! Get rid of those pesky spreadsheet financial models that die after your fundraise. Build models that persist and help you run your business! Cheers, Al

I hired Forecastr to help me with my financials. My strength is in marketing, strategy, and product design…Alex O. Has been nothing short of incredible. He’s super responsive and has helped me with numerous revisions. We will be raising our first round of capital. Sending the finances to investors is a breeze and the link permissions are easy and the financials are really robust. I highly recommend to any founder!

Overall: Happy, Satisfied, and Confident. Happy - because I dont like financial modeling nor do I like complex spreadsheets that are cumbersome and have faulty formulas. Now thats off my list. Satisfied - the software a ton of value at a great price. We saved a TON of money on additional resources we would need in our Finance Department, including a CFO. Confident - I know our financial situation and how we are forecasting for the future. This allows me to have great insight as to when we need additional capital and when that time comes - I have all the proper financial information to put in the pitch deck.

When I first came across this platform I was pleasantly surprised. Excellent quality, almost all the necessary functionality is there. Everything is intuitive. I currently use it when working with investors. It's worth it. I recommend!

Overall: Forecastr has dramatically improved my ability to project my business's performance, and my ability to demonstrate a commercial opportunity to prospective investors.

Forecastr's growth and customer-love says it all. They're a powerful solution and partner to fast-growing companies of all sizes. FP&A is a competitive advantage when done right, and Forecastr helps its customers do it right!

Having used the Forecastr platform personally for my business, I love the solution they provide and the support they offer to growing companies. Huge fan of the founders, they are experts in their field and truly 'solving the problem' in the huge gap they've identified.

Hey there, fellow Product Hunters! As the founder and COO of Loris, I just had to share my amazing experience with Forecastr. When we first started Loris, we used google sheets to build our financial models. But as we grew, we realized we needed a more robust solution. That's when we tried Finmark, but it didn't quite fit our unique needs as a startup with a hardware component. Luckily, we found Forecastr, and it was a game-changer. Their analysts worked closely with us to tailor our model specifically to our business, and their platform made it incredibly easy to track and share key metrics with our team. One of the biggest benefits we found with Forecastr was that their assumptions were much more transparent and easier for investors to review, which made raising capital a breeze. And on top of all that, their customer service was truly top-notch. A special shoutout to @joshuahinkle1 for being an absolute rockstar. All in all, I can't recommend Forecastr enough. If you're a founder looking for a great financial modeling solution, look no further than Forecastr.

Logoi uses Forecastr for all our financial modeling. We love the visual layouts and the templates are super startup friendly. Great team as well - always there to answer your questions or provide support.

Forecastr has a great onboarding experience. A member of their team meets with you weekly to build out your financial model, then they schedule quarterly check ins. All you have to do is tell them about your business - they'll do the heavy lifting!

My company, bekome (a mental health e-Commerce startup), started using Forecastr almost a year ago and it's changed the way we see and understand our business! From being able to clearly understand our financial levers, quickly see runway and resulting implications of changes to different parts of our business model, to real time sync up with Quickbooks, Forercastr has been a huge game changer. We are also able to easily create new scenarios to sandbox and test any upcoming ideas. Would recommend for any team!

I first learned about Forecastr in 2022 during an accelerator program. My startup is early stage/pre-revenue, but we continued to put off more complex financial modeling for a couple reasons 1) that wasn't our background beyond the basics 2) manually doing spreadsheets are a huge pain. But when we heard about Forecastr we signed up ASAP, because the alternatives out there were and still are horrible (build + maintain spreadsheets yourself, hire someone, download templates, etc.). We knew right away Forecastr was seriously an answered prayer! It's been a year since using the product and being partnered with an analyst on their team. Our experience has been nothing short of amazing! Being able to quickly input and analyze everything from planned hires, revenue models, and metrics is a breeze with Forecastr. Whenever anyone asks for a financial modeling resource Forecastr is the only thing I recommend. Also huge shout out to our analyst Nate on the Forecastr team!

The team at Forecastr has built something that I see quickly becoming a must-have solution for startups of all sizes. With a modern streamlined UX and what I can only describe as truly fanatical support, Forecastr has all the elements of a solution with true staying power. I think we'll look back ten years from now and remember when founders had to puzzle over Excel Spreadsheets, those days are soon-to-be long gone thanks to Forecastr. Congrats to Steven and the whole team - a new bar has been set, and it's a high one.

Forecastr is absolutely amazing. Would not have the financial model I do without their all-start analyst team helping me develop the business model!! The software is great, the people are awesome. Can't wait to keep working with them.

Joined Forecastr last year and can’t say enough about the product and team! Truly an incredible company all-around with unmatched passion and support for their customers.

Great company and even better founders. Steven and Logan have the expertise to know exactly what a founder needs from their model, and they've created an intuitive platform that makes it easy for non-Excel savvy customers to use. They have a no-brainer solution that is backed with talented support. I'm excited to see the company continue to grow.

We've been using Forecastr to build out the model of our business for just short of year. Onboarding and model development support was tier 1. We had a complex model up and running in 4 weeks that we can comfortably manage internally. Sharing the model with potential investors is easy. Gives a great roadmap for drivers of value

When I see founders who are doing all the right stuff, AND they're amazing people, I can't help but celebrate their wins! Steven Plappert and Logan Burchett are two of the greatest guys we have the pleasure of knowing. And they've built a software that is phenomenal. Founders, you don't have to do your financial modeling in a spreadsheet ever again. Your don't have to try to hack together charts or try to give your investors access to various files for due diligence. Just use Forecastr

Impressive product with an even more impressive team. We have been using Forecastr for a year, using different financial models as our Start-up pivots with the times. Phoebe and the Forecastr team has worked with us every step of the way with advice and direction. We wouldn't be anywhere near where we are without them. Highly recommend!

Forecastr rocks! I've been using it for over a year, and both their product and their people (you know who you are) are top-notch! Building a model from scratch is as onerous as it is intimidating. *If* you can figure out how to do it, plan on modifying it umpteen more times as you go to market. It's difficult. I've tried it. Forecastr makes it so much easier to configure and alter your model as you approach PMF. The modeling architecture makes so much sense and is so intuitive. And it's not like they just take your money and forget about you. Their analysts are sharp, know the product well, and genuinely want you to succeed--not just with their product, but with your business. Forecastr has been a big part of my startup. I encourage you to consider making it part of yours.

I've spent more time than I'd like to admit on building financial models - first in investment banking, later in a few different startups. I wish I found Forecastr earlier. It's been an incredible tool and and even better team to work with. From the painless white-glove onboarding to creating a fully actionable model, the experience has been fantastic. I find myself actually excited each month closing out our books and updating our model seamlessly, knowing how much time I save. I'd highly recommend Forecastr to anyone that needs to make a model - from startup founders to mature FP&A teams. Excel models are dead, long live Forecastr!

well I hate to share my secret weapon, but here goes. We discovered Forecastr a couple years ago and we were amazed at the capabilities packed into such an easy to use and simple platform. Kelvin and his enablement team are always willing to roll up their sleeves and help improve your projections. I urge you to get this tool set up asap even if you aren't raising money because it will help you understand your business's cac and where you need to make investments to reach your targets. Forecastr takes off where your P&L ends and gives you a deep and flexible understanding of the future you need to embrace to achieve your financial goals. This tool will be incredibly valuable if you decide to raise money as it shows investors exactly how you expect to achieve your goals. Get started today.

Perfect platform to build models and share the ones that you want. It's so much easier than passing around a spreadsheet. You can quickly test "what ifs" internally and share out what works. So simple to keep folks informed as you grow.

We LOVE Forecastr! They have helped us raised millions of dollars in venture capital and navigate our path to profitability. Their product is incredible and they are constantly iterating on their roadmap with feedback from founders. It has helped us build out multiple scenarios to really understand our model and make smarter decisions with our capital. We have been customers for over 3 years and can't wait to continue working with them. Every entrepreneur needs Forecastr!

We started using Forecastr during our time in the Techstars MN Twins accelerator, and it's become a key part of our business suite. I always know our financial model is well taken care of with the Forecastr software and team. The support is phenomenal. I recommend Forecastr to all of my founder friends and colleagues.

Forecastr.co has been a game-changer for my forecasting needs! The user-friendly interface, advanced forecasting techniques, and customizable scenarios make it the ultimate tool for accurate predictions. I love the seamless integration with other platforms and their outstanding customer support. As a startup founder, I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to build out their financial model on something other than excel. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed!

Forecastr is awesome product that takes the pain out of financial modeling. As Thomas Jefferson would say, that's one less thing to worry about. Whole team is super helpful and customer-oriented.

Love the Forecastr product! I first ran into Logan & Steven at a 5 Across pitch competition in Lexington, KY and have been following their success ever since. When things were moving at warp speed during our Techstars '21 cohort with The Heritage Group, we found a lot of time savings from using Forecastr to build our financial model. Once the integration with QB came out, the value of Forecastr changed drastically for us. The visibility into our forecasted vs. actual financials has been a game changer and Forecastr went from a necessary fundraising tool to a vital part of the success of our business. Also, their approach to onboarding and customer success is unrivaled and enviable. I've never had such a thoughtful onboarding experience for any product and we've even gone so far as to "borrow" some of their tactics for our own onboarding process. I highly recommend this product! Check it out - you won't regret it!

Congratulations to Steven and the entire team at Forecastr! I am the COO for HyperTrader and it has been a genuine pleasure to work with Forecastr for the past year. The Forecastr's impressive team has been instrumental in our financial forecasting and modeling. Their expertise and attention to detail is second to none. Forecastr is a crucial partner for us and their support has allowed us to prepare properly and raise capital successfully. Their product is best in class and now their upside is limitless. We are very proud and appreciative of their partnership and look forward to growing together.

Forecastr is an incredible platform that allows you to create impressive financial models with the help of an outstanding support team. The dynamic financial modeling capabilities can be easily customized, and integration with accounting software is a breeze. One of the best features is the ability to compare forecasts with actual results, providing valuable insights for making informed decisions. The recent practical updates have been a game-changer, and I've heard nothing but positive things from those who have used it. If you're looking to take control of your financial planning and stay ahead of the competition, Forecastr is a must-have tool.

Hey all. As an early user of Forcastr, all I can say is that if you are a founder of a start-up (or any other business, for that matter), you do not want to sleep on Forcastr. This is a powerful tool and something that my start-up could not live without. The team is great as well.

I cannot stress this enough - the ENTIRE team at Forecastr is incredible for fFounders. I am very new to my role as Founder and would have been in the weeds without Forecastr. Their tool is thorough and complete. The white-glove onboarding is truly methodical, helpful, and patient (shoutout Phoebe Cronk!). Most significantly, the platform and support really helps mitigate the pitfalls of first-time founders when it comes to forecasting. To have such expert guidance at every step of (arguably) the more crucial elements of start-up survival is extremely empowering. They are dedicated to customer feedback (shoutout Zack Pennington), provide actionable, senior-level feedback (Mohammad Ouhadi), and give genuine founder camaraderie (K.J. Giles). There is no better tool or team to support founders. 10/10 would recommend.

I have worked with Forcastr as the at a white glove bookkeeping company, Fireside Bookkeeping. We have seen the growth in functionality and use to the point they are our primary recommendation for forecasting financials. Both their support and their software have been fantastic to work with.

Forecastr is here, and it's ready to build and catapult others! Kudos to the team and Steven for such an amazing product that supports startups and well-established businesses. I look forward to seeing it become an industry standard.

Hi! I've used Forecastr and have been working with their team since mid-2021. Everyone on their team is top notch and very knowledgeable on all things finance and their platform. The tool they've built is sophisticated yet simple to use and extremely helpful in financial modeling and forecasting. I would definitely recommend them and the product to anyone looking to streamline and improve financial planning and analysis. Wishing them all the success!

Had an early access into Forcastr through Techstars and was super impressed by what the Steve and the guys have put together. The lift and shift help away from existing work in sheets and excel is a massive boon, and the what-if scenarios are brilliant. Very excited to see what happens down the line with Forcastr! Congrats on getting on Product Hunt team!

My startup has been using Forecastr for a while now and it has made my life so much better to feel confident in my projections and finances. Aside from the continuous updates and improvements they often make to the app, the customer service is really top-notch and Kelvin has been invaluable to my fundraising process. I can highly and confidently recommend Forecastr.

Our team has only grown to LOVE Forecastr - both the platform and the awesome team of humans building it - more and more as we've continued our journey and we wouldn't consider doing any of this without it!

For founders raising money, I constantly tell them that a pitch deck is just part one. A financial model with assumptions you can tweak and play 'what if' with investors is critical. Enter: Forecastr! I'm thrilled there is a product to make it easy for founders.

A game changer. My name is Vivi McCloy, I am the co-founder and operations officer at Smoove Creations. We make custom sneakers for organizations. My co-founder and I are relatively young entrepreneurs trying to build and scale our business. Financial forecasts during investment rounds and competitions was the one item that we found the most stressful to project. We were stuck staring at the blank spreadsheet, unsure of even where to begin. Enter Forecastr - my co-founder met them first and immediately called me about the platform. We have been here for about a year, and can say we are so much more confident in our projections and where we are heading. This tool is really indispensable for a startup operating outside of the fintech space.

Forecastr is the ideal platform to create models and share the ones you want. The system is simple to use and includes a ton of interesting features. Excellent tool, especially for new business. I would certainly recommend this to my colleagues.

We started working with Forecastr just after the incorporation of our startup. Nobody in our founding team had any financial background, so we really needed the support. Steven personally joined on as our fractional CFO, and helped us wrap our arms around the business model and forecast from Day 1 -- leveraging the Forecastr platform as the center of our financial universe. A year later, thanks to Forecastr and the work we did with Steven, we were able to raise a $5mm venture capital round. We couldn't have done it without Forecastr.

I have just signed up to use Forecastr. As I have a huge amount of experience in planning and forecasting I was curious to see how good it was. It did not disappoint me. The system has a lot of fun features and is easy to use. The onboarding service is terrific. I think having a robust forecasting package is key for running a business. As a founder I have toooooo many issues to deal with Knowing that I have robust package to manage my forecasts allows me to be transparent with my investors and be comfortable with my forecasts. Really like the product and with the tweaks to import expprt files to and from Excel, it will become even more attractive a package

I'm Arielle Brown, Founder of Bea's Bayou, a probiotic and herbal scalpcare company, and a happy customer of Forecastr and have continued to share how awesome the team and platform are with fellow founders. I really do not know a better solution for financial projections that can be suitable for small businesses like this. I wish them nothing but success in their campaign.

Great work! This is very helpful in streamlining data for a simple yet specific financial model. Thus being able to develop better solutions and processes in ensuring a thriving business (especially for a start-up). I'm excited to explore more into it. Thank you for this.

This product and this team helped me build my first "real" financial model, which got me through my preseed round! And I'm still using them today!

Very friendly and supportive team. Financial models need to be a balance of comprehensive and easy to interpret. Forecastr does a great job of getting this balance right.

Love how Forecastr enables your team to tie coarse organizational goals to fine discrete individual targets. Game changer for accountability and fostering of a merit-based culture.

Overall: Overall, I always recommend them when the conversation of forecasting comes up. They are not overpriced like Jirav, and not overly simplified LivePlan

The product is great and the team is great. They educate, advocate, ensure you are aware of the tasks that need to be done from you / them, and they execute. Our CFO, Mohammad, and analyst, Nate, are 10/10.

Forecastr is a well thought out product that would help any founder map their financial model and runway. The software is great and the people are awesome.

Really great tool, especially fore start ups. Onboarding was smooth at the analyst helped me build out my financial model really easily. Highly recommend!

Really nice tool for budgeting and planning and it's is wonderful for a small businesses. I can definitely recommend it!

Overall: The software works like a charm. The customer service is tope notch.

Amazing product and lifesaver for start ups.

Fantastic product. Highly recommend!

Very comprehensive solution with excellent support

It is an essential tool in my financial routine. Gotta have it!!

I’m really happy with the team and the value they provide. Our analyst, Alex, is an amazing dude. We give him problems, and he just solves them for us. I think that is Forecastr’s biggest competitive advantage. Anyone can build software. But not all of them are Logan, Steven, and Alex - they are the difference. I think we made the right call in partnering with Forecastr because we didn’t partner with a platform, we partnered with the people behind the platform.

Sometimes we need education, sometimes we need resources, and sometimes we just need a motivational boost! Having Logan on the financial side has been very powerful for us. He provides those things when we need them, and that allows us to enjoy the journey as we grow.

Whenever anyone asks for a financial modeling resource Forecastr is the only thing I recommend. Also huge shout out to our analyst Nate on the Forecastr team!

The team at Forecastr has built something that I see quickly becoming a must-have solution for startups of all sizes. With a modern streamlined UX and what I can only describe as truly fanatical support, Forecastr has all the elements of a solution with true staying power. I think we'll look back ten years from now and remember when founders had to puzzle over Excel Spreadsheets, those days are soon-to-be long gone thanks to Forecastr. Congrats to Steven and the whole team - a new bar has been set, and it's a high one.

Forecastr is absolutely amazing. Would not have the financial model I do without their all-start analyst team helping me develop the business model!! The software is great, the people are awesome. Can't wait to keep working with them.

Joined Forecastr last year and can’t say enough about the product and team! Truly an incredible company all-around with unmatched passion and support for their customers.

Great company and even better founders. Steven and Logan have the expertise to know exactly what a founder needs from their model, and they've created an intuitive platform that makes it easy for non-Excel savvy customers to use. They have a no-brainer solution that is backed with talented support. I'm excited to see the company continue to grow.

We've been using Forecastr to build out the model of our business for just short of year. Onboarding and model development support was tier 1. We had a complex model up and running in 4 weeks that we can comfortably manage internally. Sharing the model with potential investors is easy. Gives a great roadmap for drivers of value

When I see founders who are doing all the right stuff, AND they're amazing people, I can't help but celebrate their wins! Steven Plappert and Logan Burchett are two of the greatest guys we have the pleasure of knowing. And they've built a software that is phenomenal. Founders, you don't have to do your financial modeling in a spreadsheet ever again. Your don't have to try to hack together charts or try to give your investors access to various files for due diligence. Just use Forecastr

Impressive product with an even more impressive team. We have been using Forecastr for a year, using different financial models as our Start-up pivots with the times. Phoebe and the Forecastr team has worked with us every step of the way with advice and direction. We wouldn't be anywhere near where we are without them. Highly recommend!

Forecastr rocks! I've been using it for over a year, and both their product and their people (you know who you are) are top-notch! Building a model from scratch is as onerous as it is intimidating. *If* you can figure out how to do it, plan on modifying it umpteen more times as you go to market. It's difficult. I've tried it. Forecastr makes it so much easier to configure and alter your model as you approach PMF. The modeling architecture makes so much sense and is so intuitive. And it's not like they just take your money and forget about you. Their analysts are sharp, know the product well, and genuinely want you to succeed--not just with their product, but with your business. Forecastr has been a big part of my startup. I encourage you to consider making it part of yours.

I've spent more time than I'd like to admit on building financial models - first in investment banking, later in a few different startups. I wish I found Forecastr earlier. It's been an incredible tool and and even better team to work with. From the painless white-glove onboarding to creating a fully actionable model, the experience has been fantastic. I find myself actually excited each month closing out our books and updating our model seamlessly, knowing how much time I save. I'd highly recommend Forecastr to anyone that needs to make a model - from startup founders to mature FP&A teams. Excel models are dead, long live Forecastr!

well I hate to share my secret weapon, but here goes. We discovered Forecastr a couple years ago and we were amazed at the capabilities packed into such an easy to use and simple platform. Kelvin and his enablement team are always willing to roll up their sleeves and help improve your projections. I urge you to get this tool set up asap even if you aren't raising money because it will help you understand your business's cac and where you need to make investments to reach your targets. Forecastr takes off where your P&L ends and gives you a deep and flexible understanding of the future you need to embrace to achieve your financial goals. This tool will be incredibly valuable if you decide to raise money as it shows investors exactly how you expect to achieve your goals. Get started today.

Perfect platform to build models and share the ones that you want. It's so much easier than passing around a spreadsheet. You can quickly test "what ifs" internally and share out what works. So simple to keep folks informed as you grow.

We LOVE Forecastr! They have helped us raised millions of dollars in venture capital and navigate our path to profitability. Their product is incredible and they are constantly iterating on their roadmap with feedback from founders. It has helped us build out multiple scenarios to really understand our model and make smarter decisions with our capital. We have been customers for over 3 years and can't wait to continue working with them. Every entrepreneur needs Forecastr!

We started using Forecastr during our time in the Techstars MN Twins accelerator, and it's become a key part of our business suite. I always know our financial model is well taken care of with the Forecastr software and team. The support is phenomenal. I recommend Forecastr to all of my founder friends and colleagues.

Forecastr.co has been a game-changer for my forecasting needs! The user-friendly interface, advanced forecasting techniques, and customizable scenarios make it the ultimate tool for accurate predictions. I love the seamless integration with other platforms and their outstanding customer support. As a startup founder, I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to build out their financial model on something other than excel. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed!

Forecastr is awesome product that takes the pain out of financial modeling. As Thomas Jefferson would say, that's one less thing to worry about. Whole team is super helpful and customer-oriented.

Love the Forecastr product! I first ran into Logan & Steven at a 5 Across pitch competition in Lexington, KY and have been following their success ever since. When things were moving at warp speed during our Techstars '21 cohort with The Heritage Group, we found a lot of time savings from using Forecastr to build our financial model. Once the integration with QB came out, the value of Forecastr changed drastically for us. The visibility into our forecasted vs. actual financials has been a game changer and Forecastr went from a necessary fundraising tool to a vital part of the success of our business. Also, their approach to onboarding and customer success is unrivaled and enviable. I've never had such a thoughtful onboarding experience for any product and we've even gone so far as to "borrow" some of their tactics for our own onboarding process. I highly recommend this product! Check it out - you won't regret it!

Congratulations to Steven and the entire team at Forecastr! I am the COO for HyperTrader and it has been a genuine pleasure to work with Forecastr for the past year. The Forecastr's impressive team has been instrumental in our financial forecasting and modeling. Their expertise and attention to detail is second to none. Forecastr is a crucial partner for us and their support has allowed us to prepare properly and raise capital successfully. Their product is best in class and now their upside is limitless. We are very proud and appreciative of their partnership and look forward to growing together.

Forecastr is an incredible platform that allows you to create impressive financial models with the help of an outstanding support team. The dynamic financial modeling capabilities can be easily customized, and integration with accounting software is a breeze. One of the best features is the ability to compare forecasts with actual results, providing valuable insights for making informed decisions. The recent practical updates have been a game-changer, and I've heard nothing but positive things from those who have used it. If you're looking to take control of your financial planning and stay ahead of the competition, Forecastr is a must-have tool.

Hey all. As an early user of Forcastr, all I can say is that if you are a founder of a start-up (or any other business, for that matter), you do not want to sleep on Forcastr. This is a powerful tool and something that my start-up could not live without. The team is great as well.

I cannot stress this enough - the ENTIRE team at Forecastr is incredible for fFounders. I am very new to my role as Founder and would have been in the weeds without Forecastr. Their tool is thorough and complete. The white-glove onboarding is truly methodical, helpful, and patient (shoutout Phoebe Cronk!). Most significantly, the platform and support really helps mitigate the pitfalls of first-time founders when it comes to forecasting. To have such expert guidance at every step of (arguably) the more crucial elements of start-up survival is extremely empowering. They are dedicated to customer feedback (shoutout Zack Pennington), provide actionable, senior-level feedback (Mohammad Ouhadi), and give genuine founder camaraderie (K.J. Giles). There is no better tool or team to support founders. 10/10 would recommend.

I have worked with Forcastr as the at a white glove bookkeeping company, Fireside Bookkeeping. We have seen the growth in functionality and use to the point they are our primary recommendation for forecasting financials. Both their support and their software have been fantastic to work with.

Forecastr is here, and it's ready to build and catapult others! Kudos to the team and Steven for such an amazing product that supports startups and well-established businesses. I look forward to seeing it become an industry standard.

Hi! I've used Forecastr and have been working with their team since mid-2021. Everyone on their team is top notch and very knowledgeable on all things finance and their platform. The tool they've built is sophisticated yet simple to use and extremely helpful in financial modeling and forecasting. I would definitely recommend them and the product to anyone looking to streamline and improve financial planning and analysis. Wishing them all the success!

Had an early access into Forcastr through Techstars and was super impressed by what the Steve and the guys have put together. The lift and shift help away from existing work in sheets and excel is a massive boon, and the what-if scenarios are brilliant. Very excited to see what happens down the line with Forcastr! Congrats on getting on Product Hunt team!

My startup has been using Forecastr for a while now and it has made my life so much better to feel confident in my projections and finances. Aside from the continuous updates and improvements they often make to the app, the customer service is really top-notch and Kelvin has been invaluable to my fundraising process. I can highly and confidently recommend Forecastr.

Our team has only grown to LOVE Forecastr - both the platform and the awesome team of humans building it - more and more as we've continued our journey and we wouldn't consider doing any of this without it!

For founders raising money, I constantly tell them that a pitch deck is just part one. A financial model with assumptions you can tweak and play 'what if' with investors is critical. Enter: Forecastr! I'm thrilled there is a product to make it easy for founders.

A game changer. My name is Vivi McCloy, I am the co-founder and operations officer at Smoove Creations. We make custom sneakers for organizations. My co-founder and I are relatively young entrepreneurs trying to build and scale our business. Financial forecasts during investment rounds and competitions was the one item that we found the most stressful to project. We were stuck staring at the blank spreadsheet, unsure of even where to begin. Enter Forecastr - my co-founder met them first and immediately called me about the platform. We have been here for about a year, and can say we are so much more confident in our projections and where we are heading. This tool is really indispensable for a startup operating outside of the fintech space.

Forecastr is the ideal platform to create models and share the ones you want. The system is simple to use and includes a ton of interesting features. Excellent tool, especially for new business. I would certainly recommend this to my colleagues.

We started working with Forecastr just after the incorporation of our startup. Nobody in our founding team had any financial background, so we really needed the support. Steven personally joined on as our fractional CFO, and helped us wrap our arms around the business model and forecast from Day 1 -- leveraging the Forecastr platform as the center of our financial universe. A year later, thanks to Forecastr and the work we did with Steven, we were able to raise a $5mm venture capital round. We couldn't have done it without Forecastr.

I have just signed up to use Forecastr. As I have a huge amount of experience in planning and forecasting I was curious to see how good it was. It did not disappoint me. The system has a lot of fun features and is easy to use. The onboarding service is terrific. I think having a robust forecasting package is key for running a business. As a founder I have toooooo many issues to deal with Knowing that I have robust package to manage my forecasts allows me to be transparent with my investors and be comfortable with my forecasts. Really like the product and with the tweaks to import expprt files to and from Excel, it will become even more attractive a package

I'm Arielle Brown, Founder of Bea's Bayou, a probiotic and herbal scalpcare company, and a happy customer of Forecastr and have continued to share how awesome the team and platform are with fellow founders. I really do not know a better solution for financial projections that can be suitable for small businesses like this. I wish them nothing but success in their campaign.

Great work! This is very helpful in streamlining data for a simple yet specific financial model. Thus being able to develop better solutions and processes in ensuring a thriving business (especially for a start-up). I'm excited to explore more into it. Thank you for this.

This product and this team helped me build my first "real" financial model, which got me through my preseed round! And I'm still using them today!

Very friendly and supportive team. Financial models need to be a balance of comprehensive and easy to interpret. Forecastr does a great job of getting this balance right.

Love how Forecastr enables your team to tie coarse organizational goals to fine discrete individual targets. Game changer for accountability and fostering of a merit-based culture.

Overall: Overall, I always recommend them when the conversation of forecasting comes up. They are not overpriced like Jirav, and not overly simplified LivePlan

The product is great and the team is great. They educate, advocate, ensure you are aware of the tasks that need to be done from you / them, and they execute. Our CFO, Mohammad, and analyst, Nate, are 10/10.

Forecastr is a well thought out product that would help any founder map their financial model and runway. The software is great and the people are awesome.

Really great tool, especially fore start ups. Onboarding was smooth at the analyst helped me build out my financial model really easily. Highly recommend!

Really nice tool for budgeting and planning and it's is wonderful for a small businesses. I can definitely recommend it!

Overall: The software works like a charm. The customer service is tope notch.

Amazing product and lifesaver for start ups.

Fantastic product. Highly recommend!

Very comprehensive solution with excellent support

It is an essential tool in my financial routine. Gotta have it!!

I’m really happy with the team and the value they provide. Our analyst, Alex, is an amazing dude. We give him problems, and he just solves them for us. I think that is Forecastr’s biggest competitive advantage. Anyone can build software. But not all of them are Logan, Steven, and Alex - they are the difference. I think we made the right call in partnering with Forecastr because we didn’t partner with a platform, we partnered with the people behind the platform.

Sometimes we need education, sometimes we need resources, and sometimes we just need a motivational boost! Having Logan on the financial side has been very powerful for us. He provides those things when we need them, and that allows us to enjoy the journey as we grow.
