Startuplet financial model, updated userbase model

October 24, 2008 – 3:06 pm

Thanks to DenisM pointing out that the userbase model I’ve presented in the last post constantly underestimates your userbase.

Glad that someone read that deep :)

Basically the models counts only for users that came only during current month and considers churn rate to be a 100%.

This is easily fixable by addiing an extra parameter “churn rate” and accumulating the users:

Updated spreadsheet

The model shows that with the same startuplet as in the previous example and churn rate of 30% we actually can get a positive 12-month NPV with just weekly blog posts each reaching slightly more than 3′300 readers.
