来源平台: idea-spark
A spreadsheet-like web tool for solo SaaS founders to model their business runway, pricing, and unit economics with real-time sensitivity analysis. It translates messy financial data into a simple, visual 'months left' forecast, helping founders make confident pricing and hiring decisions.
目标用户
Solo or 2-person tech founders running a subscription-based SaaS with 10-100 paying customers, who are actively posting in r/SaaS about confusion over runway, pricing, and whether they can afford to hire.
核心差异点
Instant, visual sensitivity analysis focused solely on runway decisions. Unlike complex financial models or generic spreadsheets, it answers one burning question: 'If I change my price or hire someone, how many months do I have left?'
解决方案
A single-page React app (Next.js) with a real-time calculation engine (Tauri/SolidJS or plain JS). Users input MRR, costs, churn, and salaries into structured fields. The app instantly generates a clear burn chart, 'months of runway' projection, and sliders to simulate pricing changes or new hires. Data is stored locally or via a simple user account.
关联痛点
Founders struggle with acquiring initial users and marketing their products effectively leading to zero traction.Startup founders face unreliable external partners (developers influencers payment gateways) who stop communicating stalling progress.
