Designed to be as beautiful as it is insightful
We believe in continually improving our designs to meet you where you are. We listen, we learn, and we focus on our goal of making interfaces that work the way you do, rather than the other way around.
Innovative tools for innovative founders
Spreadsheets take something slow and meticulous, and somehow manage to make it even MORE boring. Our tools are designed to be interactive, beautiful, and most importantly, insightful. They help you understand the story your numbers are telling, so you can make better decisions, faster.
Designed for you
You've gone through countless ideas, waiting for THE ONE, and now you get to prove to the world you can make it happen. Or you've always dreamt of doing something that moves you to greener pastures, and now you're grabbing the bull by the horns. We know what it's like, because we've been there; and we want to give you the tools to help solve the problems every entrepreneur faces.
How BlackCalc helps you make better decisions, faster
Hey, time is money. Stop going through the draining process of hiring financial consultants who have to spend hours digging through your financial plans, and the minute details of your situation before they can even help you. $$$!
We're not all Rainman. The more numbers on a screen, the less we get what it's actually showing. And we end up filtering out most of it, and building mental strain trying to remember what each cell means and suffer from persistent cognitive load.
We turn your numbers into visual stories by showing you exactly where your money is coming and going.
The future can always change. Use our workbooks feature to create as many different scenarios as you want.
Also, “mute” entire rows with the on/off button. That way you can see how things would look with or without certain line items.
Do you want to be taken seriously? Then take your business financials seriously. Don’t keep incredibly important information on fragile, tired spreadsheets, or outsource your future to the hands of an hourly consultant (no offense, but are they going to be as careful or precise as you are?)
Everything is easily at your fingertips. You control what goes in, you get to see the impact of every input.
Everything you enter into BlackCalc automatically runs through our proprietary calculation engine. See all of your important values and metrics update instantly. No more managing buggy formulas in Excel.
We are always listening. If there’s a missing feature that will really help you and others like you, we’re going to build it for you. Who else can act like your personal dev team?
We ask founders what they need
Every feature in BlackCalc is designed to bring clarity to your financial picture, so you can make wise decisions that plant your enterprise on solid ground. Our goal is to help builders like you succeed. Read more -->
