This Excel Sheet Covers Everything You Need to Build a Startup
A single Excel file that tracks every part of building a startup – legal, HR, cost, growth, everything.
As you scale the business, small things like renewal tracking, operations management gets neglected. More importantly some founders miss to track their cost planning and reducing runway.
HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT
Everything You Need to Launch — in One Place
Launching a startup is overwhelming — especially when you’re wearing every hat. That’s why we built the Founder Toolkit: a 21-sheet Excel system designed to simplify your entire journey from Day 0 to Day 100.
Whether you’re setting up your business structure, planning equity splits, tracking burn, or organizing growth experiments, this early-stage startup planning template has it all. It’s your operations dashboard, finance tracker, team builder, and growth planner rolled into one.
Use it as your:
Startup founder checklist template — to track every task across legal, product, HR, and launch.
Startup legal compliance checklist — so you never miss a registration, permit, or renewal.
Startup content calendar template — to plan and execute content consistently from Day 1.
Investor pipeline spreadsheet — to manage conversations and progress with investors in one view.
Startup operations manual — with smart, ready-to-use sheets to run your startup like a system.
