Is your startup raising venture capital?
You have the next big idea, the right team, and now you’re ready to raise venture capital. Formal business plans are generally worthless and out of date, but you do need a custom financial model to communicate growth projections, monetization strategy, and monthly cash burn with clearly defined assumptions.
A financial model will help you determine exactly how much capital you need and what you will do with it – and communicate it clearly to investors.
I’ve built models for hundreds of financings as an entrepreneur, the head of operations and finance for venture-backed startups, on deal teams for VC and private equity funds, and as an investment banking analyst in the tech sector. I know exactly what startups and VCs need in a model.
Special offer for startups only:
$2,500 for a custom built startup financial model
This is a one-time flat fee with no extra hourly charges. I will quickly learn about what drives your business and iterate assumptions with you to get the model you need to efficiently raise your round and get back to business. All models are built in Excel.—————————————————————
