Skip spreadsheets. With Buho, startups can create full financial models, build dynamic scenarios, track runway, monitor cash through Brex, and share insights effortlessly giving founders' real-time clarity and control without ever needing complex spreadsheets.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Alejandro, and I’m excited to share Buho with you today!
While working with early-stage startups at an early-stage VC, We keep seeing the same problem: a big gap between building great products and understanding the financial side. Founders are often stuck in spreadsheets or flying blind when it comes to runway and planning.
That’s why I built Buho — a lightweight financial intelligence platform for startups.
With Buho, founders can:
✅ Create and share financial models with their Investors
✅ Build multiple hiring, revenue, software, fundraising scenarios
✅ Track cash and runway through Brex
✅ Get real-time insights — no spreadsheets needed
And for investors, Buho provides:
✅ Portfolio-wide runway and cash visibility
✅ Standardized financial reporting across startups
✅ Easy ways to support founders with better financial insights
We're already rolling it out to our portfolio companies, and I'd love to keep improving it with your feedback. 🙌
If you've ever felt that managing startup finances could be simpler, I'd love for you to check it out. Happy to answer any questions or just chat about the journey!
Thanks so much for the support! 🚀

@miriam_p_ Thank you :)!
Hey Alejandro and the Buho team! 👏
I’ve been using Buho for my startup, and holy cow, it’s been a game-changer. As a founder, I was drowning in spreadsheets trying to keep track of expenses and make sense of our runway. Buho made it so easy to get a clear, real-time view of our cash flow without the usual headache. Connecting it with Brex was seamless, and now I’m not guessing where our money’s going anymore.
The financial modeling feature? Absolute gold. I was able to build out different scenarios for hiring and revenue growth, which made my conversations with investors so much smoother. They loved how I could share clean, professional models with them directly through the platform. It’s like Buho gave me a superpower to speak their language and show we’ve got our act together.
For my investors, they’re thrilled with the portfolio-wide visibility. They keep telling me how much they appreciate the standardized reports—it’s cut down on their back-and-forth with me, and I can focus on building the business. Honestly, Buho’s taken a huge weight off my shoulders and made me look way more organized than I actually am (haha!).
This is such a needed tool for early-stage startups. If you’re a founder feeling overwhelmed by the financial side, you’ve gotta give Buho a spin. Thanks for building this—can’t wait to see where you take it next! 🚀
This is such a needed tool! 🚀 Builders often struggle with the financial side — love that you’re simplifying it without overwhelming users. Big congrats!
Just launched CineShuffle today — a fun mood-based movie recs tool 🚀 Would love any feedback if you get time!
@a789 Thanks Akapoor -- Totally agree, hopefully reducing the overwhelming-ness to being in an excel sheet! Will check it out :)

"Love the lightweight approach. Curious—how does Buho handle scenario planning when startups pivot fast or shift business models
@shreyans_assistiv Hey Shreyans! Thanks for asking 🙌 — Buho’s scenario planning is built to move fast. No matter the revenue type — period-based, SaaS, transaction-based, or usage-based (coming soon) — Buho can model it. You can also model employees (contract vs full-time, including location) and adjust op-ex assumptions like software and tools.
Plus, you can easily edit existing scenarios or spin up brand-new ones as your revenue or business model evolves — no need to start from scratch. Every assumption is dynamic and flexible, so you can adapt quickly as things change.
Happy to walk through a demo with you :)!
