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
