Financial Modeling
Storytelling is important for a company, especially a startup.
No matter who you are talking to – team members, investors, potential investors – company storytelling doesn’t stop, it simply changes contexts and mediums. A financial model is one of those mediums through which your company can tell its story, even without the operational history one might assume would be necessary to persuade investors or make smart decisions about the direction of the business.
This week’s session features Financial Modeling for Startups with Pedro Martinez, Controller at SkySlope.
The session is held virtually.
