Moving to SaaS - A no brainer

We are working with Lean-Case to move our clients from Software Licence to SaaS Business Models. We can compare the models and identify the critical revenue and cash flow gaps. Lean-Case is a must for every Innovation Consultant.

Much wiser decisions

In using Lean-Case for our innovation services, we understand the realistic revenue levers and cost drivers much better. What a joy compared to any Excel work! Our financial decisions are much wiser now, our risk of taking bad decisions has decreased significantly.

Our company had to launch a new project, in an area we all lacked expertise. Getting expert business consulting from the Lean-Case team made all the difference for us, I’m sure. Our project was successful and now we plan new others.

Though I loved the Lean-Case software right from the start and managed to build a great plan all by myself, with no previous experience, I still wanted to make sure I was right. In a short one to one session I got all my answers and precious guidance for the future.

Our accelerator made great use of the Lean-Case software, but we needed specific models for some of our businesses. We got them fast and easy, delivered and explained with incredible professionalism. Well done!

Accelerator

Having all the cases of our startups in one place and being able to adjust them dynamically has been a tremendous help for us. Lean-Case is really the only software were we were able to model very specific business cases, in great detail, and that made all the difference.

More Funding

Our job, as an accelerator has become much easier since we are using Lean-Case. We got on the same page with our startups, our plans and pitches look better than ever before and we see real results in getting more funding.

In our incubator, we get to work with fantastic people with brilliant ideas, but little business experience. Lean-Case has offered us the means to help them understand what matters in their plans and what investors really want to see, and that makes all the difference.

Transparency creating trust

I never felt so close to my teams and in control of my investment portfolio. Lean-Case offers great projection features and allows a level of interactivity that we all appreciate. This kind of transparency between startups and us, investors, is something we all needed. It creates trust and is greatly appreciated.

Private equity investment is far more challenging than people would think. Often times decisions are made based on intuition and experience, which is subjective and often proves wrong. Lean-Case offers an objective way to evaluate decisions and helps me mitigate risks and take the right decisions.

As a venture capitalist, I get to evaluate tens of investment opportunities every day. By using Lean-Case I feel that I added more weight to this evaluation process and made good decisions. It is a really powerful tool I recommend to all investors.

Investor Trust

Ask any startup founder and they will tell you that the hardest part in succeeding is not getting funding for a great idea. I don’t think we would have managed to get our investors trust us without the solid business plan we’ve built with the help of Lean-Case.

Metrics which Matter

We were introduced to Lean-Case through our accelerator and we loved it right from the start. We are typical "Excel Modelers", but this amazing software got us understand what metrics matter for the business and the investors, how to plan the right way and how to get a flawless pitch.

Business Focus

Trying to understand Excel Models to evaluate a business opportunity if frustrating. Lean-Case provides right platform to evaluate opportunities focusing the discussion on business assumptions and learnings. Now we can really focus on what matters, growing the business!

Back-of-the-Envelope

Every day, our partners and employees come up with more ideas for product features or innovation projects. With Lean-Case, I can easily create a realistic back-of-the-envelope case for those. We visualize revenue potential and assess business viability in no-time. Our business units and partners love this approach - business focused and collaborative.

Finally Realic Models

Modeling the dynamics of a Customer Lifefycle with conversion rates and time delays in Excel is a nightmare. However, often this is only way to create realistic model. With Lean-Case, we can run customer workshops and visualize the lifecycle online. Our customers are impressed and love our business focus.

Lean-Case sets a Standard

Lean-Case should be the Standard for every VC! We've been able to raise our initial round of $36m for Newstore working with the Lean-Case Team. The approach is focused on the customer lifecycle which is the key driver for revenue planning. Logical but very hard to do in spreadsheets.

Outperforming other tools

As a serial entrepreneur, I tried different business planning software before. Lean-Case has really impressed me with its complex business models that are fully customizable. I am able to create solid plans, with a level of detail that I could not access before, with the other tools available on the market.

​20+ Years of Experience Are Built Into Lean-Case

Over the past 20 years, I've worked closely with startups - I've been a startup - I've invested in startups - and I've worked with consultants, VCs, incubators and accelerators.

I understand all sides of the game. I know what all parties want, and need. And how to bridge the gap between them.

Lean-Case was born out of this experience. And from seeing countless attempts by startups, entrepreneurs, and businesses to recreate the wheel when presenting to investors and other stakeholders.

I've already paid these dues ... you don't need to.

Everything you need has been built into Lean-Case, so you can on DAY ONE, present your business like a seasoned professional - and get the green light you're seeking.

Getting a Start-Up or Internal Project Funded is Only Going to Get Tougher!

I've been a start-up entrepreneur AND a later stage entrepreneur that got funded. ​I've been an early business angel making investments. And I've worked with business managers looking to get internal projects funded.


From ​all sides of the game - I've seen the urgent need for an easy-to-use, flexible, yet comprehensive business modeling tool.


  • As an early funded entrepreneur, ​we burnt through a lot of money making all the classic mistakes... 
  • As a later entrepreneur, we spent weeks creating an awesome model - but had no clue about the real assumptions. After finally figuring out our numbers, we built a successful OEM strategy in the US and exited.
  • As an early business angel, I made a terrible investment by falling in love with the product and team - but not asking about unit economics. That did not help anyone. The company crashed 3 years later.
  • As an M&A Advisor and VC Partner, I see lots of great companies and product ideas who have no real clue about their metrics. And I see investors and decision makers struggle on a daily basis because of this.

I want you to avoid the same mistakes. Don't re-invent the obvious. Check out the video workshop below.
