A crash course on financial modeling

Our financial modeling sprints are designed as a 2-week exercise where you will have a complete financial model built specifically for your business. We craft a visual representation of how your business works and what drives your revenue and then translate it into an actual spreadsheet to run financial projections for your business.

Financial models: fundraising must-haves

A financial model is a powerful tool to help you keep track of your startup metrics, but it is also a fundamental part of your fundraising efforts, one that investors will need to see. This document will also help you answer crucial questions about your fundraising process:

Estimate fundraising needs

Understand your fundraising requirements based on your own financials rather than guesstimating your round.

Simulate exit scenarios

Investors often like to know you’ve run exit scenarios, and a financial model is an excellent tool to do so.

Forecast revenue & runway

Predict your runway based on historical data. Doing these projections is pretty much mandatory when raising funds.

Quotes from non-startups, and startups

“We needed to have a financial forecast to raise capital. There were errors within the formula, which led to wrong results, but solving them took too much time. Slidebean guided us and told us what made sense and what didn't"

“For a startup, it's great to have access to these types of tools because it's like getting a fractional accountant to work on a business model for you."

“Being able to work with Caya and Sandra was exciting. It’s the kind of mentorship that has a commitment to doing it the right way, that will also work in the long term. They help you understand the financial model, but also help you quit early.”
