Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a valuation calculator for my startup?
A valuation calculator helps you estimate what your company is worth before talking to investors. It uses industry-standard methods like the Venture Capital Method to give you a realistic range, helping you negotiate better terms and avoid giving away too much equity.
How do I calculate my startup's burn rate and runway?
You can use our free Burn Rate Calculator to input your monthly expenses and current cash balance. It will automatically calculate your gross and net burn rate, and tell you exactly how many months of runway you have left before you need to raise more capital.
What is a good CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) for a SaaS startup?
A 'good' CAC depends on your Customer Lifetime Value (LTV). Generally, an LTV:CAC ratio of 3:1 or higher is considered healthy for a SaaS business. Our CAC Optimizer tool helps you calculate this ratio and identify which marketing channels are providing the best return on investment.

These tools use standard financial formulas and models used by venture capitalists and founders worldwide. However, they are for estimation and planning purposes. Actual results will vary based on your specific market conditions, execution, and external factors.
Are these tools free for effective fundraising planning?
Yes, these tools are designed to be accessible resources for early-stage founders. They generate professional-grade insights that you can include in your pitch deck to demonstrate financial discipline and understanding of your unit economics to potential investors.
