This podcast is sponsored by Causal: Many of us rely on Excel, and we couldn’t imagine a world without it. Excel lets us quickly crunch numbers, build financial forecasts and model out scenarios to make better decisions. But modelling in Excel and G-Sheets comes with its challenges: manual data dumps, #REFs, untraceable errors, and a lack of data protection create a constant stream of manual work, stress and a lack of confidence in the work you just did — and that’s where Causal comes in. Causal is a better way for working with numbers. It's like Excel minus the arcane formulas (no more Sheet1!$E$4 or VLOOKUPs), plus effortless modelling, live data integrations (accounting systems, CRMs, etc.), and beautiful interactive dashboards. And given current market conditions, every startup needs a solid financial model to steer the ship. I've worked with the Causal team to create the Startup Suite — a set of 4 template models for early stage companies. It includes your revenue model, hiring plan, P&L and runway projection: the basics for any startup to keep an eye on the finances and plan for the future. If you’re a startup founder, early-stage employee or just a lover of all things data, you’ll love Causal.  Use the Startup Suite as a starting point, or sign up for the product for free.
