For universities & colleges
Give students hands-on experience with the same forecasting platform used by hundreds of startups. They learn how a business actually works financially, not how to debug Excel formulas.
The tool gap
Students get lost in formulas and cell references instead of learning what actually moves a business: revenue drivers, unit economics, cash cycles.
The theory gap
Capstone projects ask students to build a forecast for an imaginary SaaS company with no data. The leap to a real venture is huge.
The career gap
Employers want candidates who can open a real tool and produce a forecast on day one. Most programs don't prepare students for that.
Profitual replaces the blank spreadsheet with composable building blocks. Students describe how a business makes money, and a complete 3-statement model falls out the other side. More time on concepts, less time on syntax.

Students compose forecasts from building blocks. They see how each assumption flows through the three financial statements in real time.
No debugging VLOOKUP. Class time goes to interpreting results, debating assumptions, and discussing what the numbers mean for the business.
Profitual is the same platform 500+ working founders rely on. Student ventures, business plan competitions, internships: it all transfers.
Every student walks away with investor-quality 3-statement models for their portfolio, competition submission, or job search.
SaaS, marketplace, services, e-commerce. Students pick a business model and the starter template meets them where they are.
Students watch Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow tie together as they change assumptions. Concepts become visible.
Teach sensitivity and strategic thinking: best/base/worst side-by-side, one assumption changed at a time.
Role and region benchmarks turn 'hire a developer' into a real budgeting decision with real numbers behind it.
Runway, burn, gross margin, LTV:CAC, Rule of 40, all computed automatically so students can focus on interpretation.
Students can download the full model for assignments, pitch decks, or their own portfolio. Professors can review line-by-line.
