Finance creators can make a lot of money by selling these products!.

Digital finance products are in high demand as both novice and experienced investors look for reliable, ready-made tools to enhance their decision-making.

With Sherpo's versatile, AI-first platform, creators like us at Fossato Economico can easily build, distribute, and manage finance-centric digital products that customers will find both useful and actionable.

Here are some of the top ideas for finance-related digital products you can create and sell in 2024, targeting investors, students, and other finance enthusiasts. Feel free to take inspiration from these ideas!


1. Finance checklists

One of the simplest and most effective tools for any practitioner is a well-structured checklist. With Sherpo’s no-code platform, creating online checklists that you can always update is a breeze. These checklists can cover topics from stock investment due diligence to ETF or cryptocurrency assessments.

At Fossato Economico, we launched a stateless checklist on Sherpo, and the response has been excellent due to its simplicity and practicality.

2. Detailed discounted cash flow (DCF) model

A detailed DCF model targets those seeking deep dive buy-side or sell-side valuations. It should include inputs for revenue projections, cost of capital, and sensitivity analysis to offer a comprehensive view of a company’s intrinsic value. These models are invaluable for users who want data-backed insights without building models from scratch, particularly for value investors.

3. Simplified DCF model with extra tabs

A simplified DCF model caters to less experienced users with various inputs, like growth assumptions, tax effects, and terminal value. This format keeps complexity manageable while allowing users to experiment with assumptions to see how they impact valuations, making it ideal for entry-level investors. With Sherpo’s tools, creators can distribute these models easily.

4. Inverse DCF model to reverse engineer market assumptions

An inverse DCF takes a reverse approach, calculating the growth rate or fade rate implied by a stock's current market price. This model is highly useful for users trying to determine if a stock is over or undervalued based on market expectations. With Sherpo, you can also offer a short video tutorial to guide users.

5. ETF comparison file or portfolio tracker

An ETF comparison tool or portfolio tracker helps investors keep track of their assets and assess performance. By including sortable fields for factors like fees, historical returns, and risk levels, this product gives users a dynamic view of their portfolio’s health.

6. Re-purposed Damodaran spreadsheets

Professor Damodaran’s publicly available financial models provide a wealth of data, but not everyone has the expertise or time to adapt them to specific needs. Repurposing these spreadsheets into specialized templates (e.g., making them simpler to use and adding video explanations) gives users a way to apply Damodaran’s work directly.

7. Company-specific DCFs with key drivers

Customized DCF models for specific companies, including pre-populated data for key drivers like revenue growth, profit margins, and capex, can save users significant time. These models allow for quick “plug-and-play” adjustments based on the latest financials, making them highly attractive for investors focused on specific stocks.
