How to Model Startup Financials:

Investors regularly see founders making wild, unsubstantiated claims with rocket ship, hockey stick growth. Founders fail to realize that pipe dream numbers create doubt that hurts their story and credibility. Successful investor pitches include bottoms-up numbers that are detailed, realistic, and provable. Learn how to build a defensible financial model that satisfies skeptics, instills confidence, and impresses investors.

The spreadsheet included with this training class serves as a major launch pad for founders to build a comprehensive, defensible financial model. We’ve invested over 500 hours to create a tool that saves founders 60, 80 or even 100+ hours when building out detailed scenarios and testing assumptions to visualize their financial path forward.

The initial modules for this class are available now with more modules to be released in the next few weeks.
