anything specific you want to know? happy to discuss! Or just check out the product, then feel free to post in our forums or email info@opstarts.com with any questions you have.


happy to look into this with you, this is likely something very simple, feel free to email me deva@opstarts.com. also, there is going to be a "modeling freemium" knowledge base article posted today.


I see the freemium template now, it sets things up in a pretty reasonable way. Thanks!

May I suggest a 'bootstrapped' template as well?


yes, def good suggestion. the templates are right now only sorta useful since they arent really documented. i'm working on that and should have basic stuff done this weekend, that'll make them a lot better and we can think about adding more then.


A feature that seems missing (particularly for bootstrapped startups, but useful for others too) is using a % of profits or revenue to fund user acquisition, rather than a $x amount that grows by either Y% or $Y.

OTOH, that would assume that channels don't get saturated, so you'd also need a ceiling on the max spend for that channel.


Did you ever get that 'Modelling Freemium' article posted? I can't find it.


Thanks! If I am still confused after the article comes out, I'll reach out to you.


like andy said, currency conversion is something that's in our plans, but will be a little while. on the other hand, we hope to get at least different currency display options (as opposed to just $) in settings very soon.


not yet, but we agree! Integrations are something we're working on. I just started a discussion thread for suggestions: https://opstarts.zendesk.com/hc/communities/public/questions...

Thanks for the pricing feedback, I like those suggestions. We're currently evaluating pricing and will have some updates on launch pricing soon.


Do I have to login to comment on this? This is a bit annoying.


you shouldn't. i'll get that fixed in a bit. in the meantime, anything else besides Stripe you'd like to see integrated with Opstarts?


thanks for the report, fixed


thanks! broken button in WP theme, replaced for now w/ a link.


we started with SaaS, so we currently have the most functionality there. However, we are rapidly building out that kind of support. We already support linking expenses for each sale you make to support basic COGS and will have much more soon.


Can second labaraka - the inventory-holding startup world needs a product like this desperately! To the developers: I included my contact information and a writeup about our fashion brand's pain points in the signup page, and I'd be happy to give feedback about the product at some point - just send me a ping!


thanks! we already have a couple of fashion startups using us that have both seasonal (fixed amount) and ongoing (based on sales) inventory purchasing and replenishment expenses to model. We support a number of basic scenarios like that, but inventory-related modeling is definitely something we're focused on improving. I'll keep an eye our for your message, and also feel free to write me any time at deva@opstarts.com.


Thanks for the response. Will keep an eye out for that functionality. Fyi, would be willing to pay $100-150/month to give my sales team the ability to run scenarios.


Would love to hear more about specific scenarios you're looking to run. You can email me deva@opstarts.com if you'd like to talk more!


Thanks - just did.


thanks, good point. we'll add a link back to the website from the application.


We've created this product to help startups easily make financial plans and projections without complicated spreadsheets. Check it out at https://opstarts.com/ You can use the beta invite code SHOWHN or click here to create an account: https://app.opstarts.com/create-new-account?invite=SHOWHN


Hi, I'm the CEO of ClearContext. We have focused the last couple of years on including this type of functionality as part of our project management product, but we plan to release a simple free product for Outlook users focused just on identifying your most important messages. We'll start beta-testing that product this month.
