As a seasoned finance professional with extensive experience in building complex financial models, I'm excited about the opportunity to support MyArtist's fundraising efforts. My proficiency in Excel is second to none, and combined with my knack for extracting insights from large datasets, I guarantee a robust, detailed and editable 3-year financial model that aligns with your specific needs. Having worked as both a consultant and an in-house analyst, I understand the importance of a highly flexible and adaptable model. This understanding, along with my focus on precision and accuracy, enables me to incorporate conservatively or aggressive assumptions across the model's various drivers such as user growth, revenue forecasts, unit economics and much more. In addition to my financial modeling expertise, my technical background as a full-stack developer allows me to approach the Streaming & Technology Cost Model section of this project with an added layer of insight. I have a deep understanding of not just financial costs but also the underlying technical infrastructure required for live streaming platforms like yours. By accommodating inputs for different user scales and technical pricing assumptions sets at each stage, I assure that no important decision on infrastructure misses your attention throughout the early-stage phase. Let's create together!

For a live-streaming/creator platform the model lives or dies on the gifting economics: token top-up to gift spend to creator payout take-rate, plus how paid calls and subscriptions layer on top. Get that revenue engine right and burn, runway and the 5Cr ask fall out of it. I'll build a driver-based, investor-ready model in Excel: - Revenue build from your inputs: user/creator growth, ARPU, gifting frequency and token economics, paid-call/subscription conversion, platform take-rate. - Cost structure: streaming/infra, payment-gateway, creator payouts, CAC, team, opex. - 3-year monthly P&L, cash flow and runway, unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback, contribution margin), and base/best/worst scenarios tied to the 5Cr raise and its use of funds. - A clean assumptions tab so investors can flex any driver, plus a one-page summary sheet. Everything formula-linked and auditable, no hard-coded numbers buried in cells. I keep a 5.0 star rating and stay on-platform. Can you share your assumed token pricing, creator take-rate and target CAC so the revenue engine reflects your real economics?
