For universities & colleges

Teach business thinking. Not spreadsheets.

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 teaching challenge.

The tool gap

Spreadsheets don't teach business thinking.

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

Textbook examples don't match real companies.

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

Graduates can recite ratios. They can't build a model.

Employers want candidates who can open a real tool and produce a forecast on day one. Most programs don't prepare students for that.

Financial modeling that clicks.

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.

Why it works for students.

Learn by doing, not by copying.

Students compose forecasts from building blocks. They see how each assumption flows through the three financial statements in real time.

Time spent on the 'why.'

No debugging VLOOKUP. Class time goes to interpreting results, debating assumptions, and discussing what the numbers mean for the business.

A tool students keep using.

Profitual is the same platform 500+ working founders rely on. Student ventures, business plan competitions, internships: it all transfers.

Professional-grade output.

Every student walks away with investor-quality 3-statement models for their portfolio, competition submission, or job search.

What students can build.

Guided templates

SaaS, marketplace, services, e-commerce. Students pick a business model and the starter template meets them where they are.

Real-time statement tie-out

Students watch Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow tie together as they change assumptions. Concepts become visible.

Scenario planning

Teach sensitivity and strategic thinking: best/base/worst side-by-side, one assumption changed at a time.

Hiring & salary benchmarks

Role and region benchmarks turn 'hire a developer' into a real budgeting decision with real numbers behind it.

Key metric calculation

Runway, burn, gross margin, LTV:CAC, Rule of 40, all computed automatically so students can focus on interpretation.

Excel export

Students can download the full model for assignments, pitch decks, or their own portfolio. Professors can review line-by-line.
