Trusted by founders, schools, and firms
You don't need to worry about complex formulas and spreadsheets
Transform financial forecasting with Upmetrics. No complex formulas needed. Just input data and let our tool handle the rest.
List every launch cost, get one total
Equipment, licenses, deposits, initial inventory, legal fees - list each one-time cost in the Capital & Funding section and Upmetrics adds them up for you.
- No separate spreadsheet or calculator to maintain
- Categorize costs so investors see exactly where the money goes
- Total updates the moment you add or edit a line item

Your startup costs feed straight into cash flow and the balance sheet
This isn't an isolated number - your capital total flows into the same 3-way forecast as your revenue and expenses, so lenders and investors see the full picture, not a standalone worksheet.
- Startup costs show up in your opening balance sheet automatically
- See how much runway your funding actually buys
- One connected model instead of separate documents to keep in sync

See how your real spending stacked up
Connect QuickBooks or Xero and compare what you actually spent to launch against what you estimated, line by line - no manual re-entry required.
- Read-only sync, never writes back to your accounting system
- Spot categories where you over- or under-estimated
- Same variance view used across the rest of your forecast
