About Us
Our History
PlanIn was born over a decade ago out of a necessity to create a financial model with the ability to perform "what-if" analysis without spending an excessive amount of time adjusting the model. Our goal was to devote more time to analysis rather than building the model. Over time, our platform has evolved into a comprehensive solution with multi-company, multi-currency, and multi-scenario capabilities with AI-driven Insights.
PlanIn was initially developed by a startup Application Service Provider and has since been enhanced with other high-tech companies that have grown into global leaders in their respective industries. The platform has been successfully used by global hardware and software businesses that have collectively raised over $100 million in funding.
Today, many founders and startups rely on PlanIn to provide three-statement financial projections and scenario analysis, helping them raise critical capital and grow their businesses. We are proud to offer our platform to new businesses looking to achieve their financial goals.
Our philosophy
At the heart of our company's philosophy is the belief that everyone should be able to turn their business ideas into numbers. We believe that creating a great business plan doesn't require special qualifications, and you don't have to be an accountant to understand the financials of your business. With our AI-driven Planning Insights there is no need to be a financial expert.
Furthermore, we recognize that plans are not something you can simply create once and forget about. Effective planning is an ongoing process that requires constant attention and adaptation to changes in the market. Adaptability is at the heart of our solution.
