A sensible order for a new company
Write the one-page plan and the one-sentence pitch first. If you cannot say who the customer is and why they will pay in a sentence, a longer deck will not fix it. The business model canvas then shows how the pieces connect: channels, costs and revenue streams.
Before you spend, the startup cost calculator adds a reserve of monthly operating costs to your launch costs to give the cash you need to open, and the pricing test calculator compares two price points on revenue and contribution rather than on sales volume alone.
Once money is coming in and going out, the burn multiple shows how much you burn for each unit of net new revenue, a figure many investors ask about, and the monthly investor update keeps backers informed in a format they can read in two minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Are the startup tools free?
Yes. All ten tools are free and need no sign-up. Your plan and figures stay in your browser.
What is a good burn multiple?
Burn multiple is net burn divided by net new recurring revenue for the same period. As a common benchmark, below 1 is excellent, 1 to 2 is good, and above 2 means growth is expensive. The calculator gives the multiple; the benchmark is yours to apply.
Is a one-page business plan enough for investors?
It is enough to start a conversation and to test the idea yourself. Investors will usually ask for a deck and a financial model later; the one-page plan gives you the content for both.
Can I edit the generated pitch and mission statements?
Yes. The generators give you drafts to edit. Copy the version you like and refine it in your own words.

Synergy, Decoded: What It Actually Means
Synergy is the extra value created when two businesses or teams combine, so that the whole is worth more than the parts added up. In mergers and acquisitions it usually means specific savings or extra sales the combined company expects to get, and it is often the main reason given for paying a premium for a deal.
Valuation, Decoded: What It Actually Means
Valuation is the estimated value of a company, usually expressed as a single price for the whole business. For public companies it falls out of the share price. For private companies and startups it is agreed between buyers and sellers, often during a funding round, using methods like revenue multiples, comparable deals and discounted cash flow.
