Included
Six finished working files
Enrolment includes BELTO's downloadable spreadsheets, cleaned up and blanked out for your business. Formulas are included; you fill in the yellow cells.
Business Plan Model
Twelve linked sheets: assumptions, revenue, costs, profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, investment, month-by-month liquidity, market sizing, pricing comparison, funding plan and exit options.
Type into the yellow cells only — every other figure calculates itself.
Available in the enrolled resource roomCustomer Interview Kit
The ten-question script, an interview log for fifty conversations, and a signal-scoring sheet that turns what you heard into a decision.
Built so fifteen interviews can actually be compared against each other.
Available in the enrolled resource roomCompany Document Register
Twenty-five documents a US company is normally expected to hold — certificate of incorporation, EIN, bylaws, board consents, 83(b), NDAs, offer letters, insurance, filings — each with where it comes from and what it actually costs.
Work down the Register tab and mark every row Done, In progress or Not needed.
Available in the enrolled resource roomFounder Agreement & Equity Split Worksheet
A weighted split model across eight contribution factors for up to four founders, plus the twelve decisions a founder agreement has to record before anyone drafts it.
Complete both tabs first; hand the result to counsel to paper it.
Available in the enrolled resource roomCap Table & SAFE Modeller
Founder holdings, every outstanding SAFE with cap, discount and post- or pre-money basis, and a priced-round tab that shows dilution once the SAFEs convert.
Model the round here before you agree a cap with anyone.
Available in the enrolled resource roomInvestor Target Tracker
A hundred-row target list with stage, cheque size, conflict check and relevance scoring, a fundraising pipeline, and four outreach templates.
Run a raise the way you would run a sales pipeline, because it is one.
