Open the Template in Google Sheets (3 Steps)
Download the File
Grab the free Excel template below — it's the canonical version that works in both Excel and Sheets.
Import to Sheets
In Google Sheets: File → Import → Upload → "Replace spreadsheet." All six tabs and formulas carry over.
Share a Live Link
Fill in your assumptions, then share view-only copies with investors — no more versioned email attachments.
What's in the Model
- +Assumptions — growth, pricing, churn, and cost inputs in one place.
- +Revenue Model — MRR and ARR build-up from customers, pricing, and churn.
- +Cost Structure & Cash Flow — headcount, opex, burn rate, and runway.
- +Unit Economics & Dashboard — CAC, LTV, payback, and an investor-ready summary view.
Sheets-Specific Tips
- -Use File → Make a copy for every external share; keep one master for yourself.
- -Protect the formula ranges (Data → Protect sheets and ranges) so collaborators only edit inputs.
- -Use comment-access links in your data room — investors can ask questions inline instead of over email.
- -Version history (File → Version history) replaces the "model_final_v7.xlsx" problem entirely.

Google Sheets Financial Model FAQs
Do the formulas work in Google Sheets?
Yes. The template uses standard spreadsheet functions (SUM, growth references, ratio calculations) that behave identically in Excel and Google Sheets. All six tabs — Assumptions, Revenue Model, Cost Structure, Cash Flow, Unit Economics, and Dashboard — import with formulas intact.
How do I open the template in Google Sheets?
Download the Excel file, then in Google Sheets go to File → Import → Upload, drop the file in, and choose "Replace spreadsheet." The import takes under a minute. You can also upload the file to Google Drive and open it directly — Drive converts it automatically.
Why use Google Sheets instead of Excel for a financial model?
Sharing. Investors, co-founders, and advisors can view or comment on a Google Sheets model from a link without version-attachment chaos. For fundraising, a view-only Sheets link in your data room is easier to keep current than an emailed Excel file. Excel still wins for very large models, but a startup financial model is well within Sheets territory.
How should I share the model with investors?
Make a copy for each external share (File → Make a copy), strip anything sensitive, and share view-only or comment-only. Keep one master version for yourself. Never share edit access to your working model.
Is there a native Google Sheets version?
The download is an Excel file that converts losslessly on import — that keeps one canonical template that works in both tools. After importing once, save it in your Drive and it behaves exactly like a native Google Sheets file.
