The VC Corner is where founders stay ahead: sharp news, fundraising strategies, battle-tested playbooks, and the tools to grow.
By Ruben Dominguez

This is a complete SaaS financial model (get it at the end of the article) built to reflect how real SaaS businesses actually operate, from growth and pricing to headcount, costs, and profitability.

Not a pitch spreadsheet.
Not a theoretical exercise.
A system you can actually run a company on.

If you’re a founder, operator, or investor trying to understand what truly drives revenue, burn, and EBITDA, this will feel familiar in the best way.

Why this matters now

Financial clarity is now the baseline.

Founders are expected to understand unit economics earlier.
Boards focus on profitability drivers.
Investors care about levers, not narratives.

Most models break at this point.
This one holds.

Why this resource works

Because everything connects.

• Assumptions flow cleanly into monthly and annual P&L

• Hiring and costs scale with real operating plans
• Dashboards surface signal, not noise

• The profit bridge shows what actually moves results

Change one lever, and the full picture updates.
