Sorana and I (FDD) are working on a forecasting model which will allow us to play with some variables to predict quarterly revenue scenarios based on GMV. Adjustable variables include:
- Matching Funds
- Donor Funds (As a % of matching funds)
- Growth % of Matching Funds (Allowing for non-linear growth forecasting)
- Protocol Fee % for Donors
- Fee % for matching funds
- Service fees as a % of matching funds
The model should be complete in a week. Then we will have a comprehensive post the following week examining:
- Low growth vs high growth revenue potential
- Growth & revenue scenarios based on GR1 - GR15 trend lines
- Growth & revenue scenarios with or without donor fees, matching fees, & service fees
