Looks like a useful product! I think it's neat how you built it directly on Google Sheets. I'd love to hear more about why you made that decision (versus building an independent tool).

Some feedback on the landing page:

- Would be nice with a 2-3 minute demo video

- Put the screenshots (or demo video) closer to the top, so they're visible without scrolling

- Some of the copywriting could be clearer. For example: "Pre-built financial models for SaaS companies, with plug-and-play software built directly in Google Sheets" could be just "Financial models for SaaS companies, directly in Google Sheets"

I think building it in Google Sheets is important because finance folks are comfortable with it and (if needed) can customize it to suit their needs. It's also hard to replicate Google Sheet's collaboration features like edit history on individual cells, real-time updates, comments/suggestions etc.

- A demo video is a great idea, I'll get started on that this week.

- Screenshots/video closer to the top is a good idea too, think maybe I need an image in the hero.

- Good point on the copy, I'll have to revisit this.

Really appreciate the suggestions!

Makes sense – Google Sheets is a great tool. No problem!
