Why Startups Struggle with SEIS/EIS Projections
Every founder knows that government-backed schemes like SEIS (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme) and EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) are a goldmine for investors. But:
- The tax relief rules feel like legalese.
- Building a financial model that ticks SEIS/EIS boxes takes hours.
- Finance jargon crowds out your real story.
You end up with spreadsheets that look neat—but don’t tell a clear narrative. And if investors don’t get the story, they won’t commit.
The Spreadsheet Trap
Let’s be honest: spreadsheets can do wonders. They crunch numbers. They’re free (mostly). But they bring headaches:
- Mistakes hide in formula chains.
- Updating inputs breaks linked sheets.
- You need a finance degree to explain your assumptions.
Relying solely on Excel or Google Sheets means more time debugging than pitching. Your time is better spent honing strategy and talking to real investors.
Sturppy: A Quick Shortcut?
Enter Sturppy. They promise no more Excel. You get templates, AI-driven CFO chats and live dashboards. Tempting, right?
Strengths:
– Pre-built templates for startups.
– AI CFO chat for quick what-if analysis.
– One-click exports to CSV, Google Sheets.
Limitations:
– Generic models. Not tailored for SEIS/EIS specifics.
– No built-in investor network or tax-vetting process.
– You still need to craft a pitch deck around those numbers.
Sturppy speeds up modeling, but it doesn’t guide you through the SEIS/EIS maze or connect you directly with investors seeking tax-efficient deals.
