We learn how to build a startup financial model for a marketing technology company. You can download the MarTech financial model template for free in the resources section.

MarTech companies are usually a type of SaaS startup – so they have very sticky customers and sky-high gross margins.

Examples of MarTech companies could include email / SMS platforms, affiliate marketing platforms, influencer marketplaces, landing page builders, link-building/SEO tools, and more – and they often focus on a single sector.

MarTech is one of my favorite sectors of the startup ecosystem because they are building into a massive end market. The market is huge for the following reasons:
► There are an incredible number of industries that still do not leverage digital marketing very well in the acquisition & retention of their customers. 
► Businesses that get a positive ROI on marketing will spend a lot. 
► Many of the giant paid ads platforms are prohibitively expensive, difficult to use, and don’t convert very well (especially post-iOS 14).
