Although we have more than 1 billion spreadsheet users worldwide, there is not a single proper go-to platform for sharing spreadsheet templates based on category. We have Spotify for music, Airbnb for accommodation, etc, and now Excelarete for spreadsheets, especially for business-related templates. Additionally, we allow business experts network and promote themselves via selling their expertise in industry-specific spreadsheet formats.
