Causal - Business planning for modern teams | Product Hunt

Business planning for modern teamsHi everyone! I’m Taimur, co-founder and CEO of Causal, a new tool for working with numbers.

Spreadsheets can be used for pretty much anything — Airtable, Notion, Asana, etc. are doing a great job of tackling the “general productivity” use-cases: making lists of things, tracking projects, managing processes, and so on.

We’ve built Causal to tackle the other half of spreadsheets: number-crunching — doing calculations, visualising data, and communicating with numbers. And everyone needs to do this:

1. 💻 CEOs at Seed/Series A startups: cash runway forecasting, hiring planning, fundraising 2. 🏦 Finance teams at Series B+ companies: annual budgeting, tracking budgets vs actuals, investor reporting, multi-currency consolidation 3. 📞 Sales teams: quota capacity planning, pipeline forecasting, interactive ROI calculators 4. 📈 Marketing teams: performance marketing forecasting, ad spend planning

Compared to Excel/Sheets, Causal gives you:

1. 🔤 Plain english formulas: write formulas you can actually read, with 100x fewer formulas needed to build the same model as Excel 2. 🔌 Live data integrations: pull data from your accounting system/ERP, CRM, HRIS, and data warehouse automatically 3. 🎆 Interactive dashboard reports: share live dashboards where your team can play with the numbers without breaking anything

I’d love to hear what you think — sign up for a free account at https://causal.app and try it out!

If you need our advanced features (data integrations, version comparison), we’re offering our Startup plan for $99/month (usually $250/month) with the code PRODUCTHUNT.

Enjoy!
