SaaS Autopilot Engine - Google Sheet

Startups die when they lose sight of unit economics and run out of cash. This system provides a centralized 5-year forecast model that tracks Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), cash burn, and LTV:CAC ratios to help operators determine their absolute lowest cash runway. This spreadsheet is designed to be used in Google Sheets.

The Operational Friction

Relying on scattered, manual spreadsheets to forecast SaaS growth often leads to miscalculated runways and ignored unit economics. When founders build models from scratch, they frequently fail to account for compounding churn or accurately link their acquisition costs to their operational burn. Without a centralized, locked forecast, executives cannot accurately determine when they need to raise capital, leading to panicked fundraising or sudden insolvency.
