We learn how to build a startup financial model for a marketing technology company. You can download the MarTech financial model template for free in the resources section.

MarTech companies are usually a type of SaaS startup - so they have very sticky customers and sky-high gross margins.

Examples of MarTech companies could include email / SMS platforms, affiliate marketing platforms, influencer marketplaces, landing page builders, link-building/SEO tools, and more - and they often focus on a single sector.

MarTech is one of my favorite sectors of the startup ecosystem because they are building into a massive end market. The market is huge for the following reasons:

► There are an incredible number of industries that still do not leverage digital marketing very well in the acquisition & retention of their customers. 
► Businesses that get a positive ROI on marketing will spend a lot. 
► Many of the giant paid ads platforms are prohibitively expensive, difficult to use, and don't convert very well (especially post-iOS 14).

In this video, I build a financial model for a MarTech startup scaling from a single product to a platform of products over its first 3 years.

Thanks, Eric, this might not be a relevant question, however, what do you think how much would you charge a client for such kind of a financial model?
