[The Problem]
Most financial models fall apart because they’re based on wishful thinking. Investors spot vague assumptions, missing logic, or disconnected stories fast. If your numbers don’t add up, your raise goes nowhere.

Working with the spectup team was a fantastic experience. They delivered exactly what we needed, even under tight timing, and really elevated our project’s financial model to a level that impressed our stakeholders.
They delivered a financial model that truly matched our complex project structure and exceeded expectations. Their expertise, professionalism, and ability to simplify and clarify a convoluted brief made the process not just smooth, but enjoyable.
The whole experience working with spectup was really positive. The financial model gave us insights into our business that we hadn’t thought about. And made it much easier to communicate our numbers to others. Even before the project was fully finished, we used early drafts to impress landlords and secure new locations.

Only experienced financial modeling consultants. No juniors, no outsourcing. You’ll work directly with someone who understands investor logic and startup strategy—not just spreadsheet formulas.
Nope. We help define your assumptions and guide the inputs—revenue channels, headcount, CAC, etc. You just need your vision and goals. We’ll build the model around a realistic, investor-ready version of that.
Great—we can audit, optimize, or rebuild it around your new strategy or funding round. We’ll realign logic, clean up messy formulas, and give you investor-ready structure and clarity.
You get clean, fully editable Google Sheets and Excel files. No locked cells, no custom code. It’s designed so your team (or future CFO) can update it easily.
Standard turnaround is 10–15 business days. We also offer fast-track options for urgent raises.
We’ve got you covered. We can create your full investor-ready pitch deck and plug in financials directly from your model—plus add storytelling, visuals, and real investor psychology.
spectup is a full fundraising consulting firm. We help founders with: Investment Strategy, Investor Readiness, Pitch Deck Creation, Founder Positioning, Investor Matchmaking & Outreach
