Own Your Numbers: Create Financial Projections & Show Traction for Funding

We get it. Numbers are not everyone’s fave. As much as you may not want to hear this, it’s crucial for you, the founder, to have a good understanding of your financials and be able to tell an enticing story of your business to get investors onboard. Join our ‘Own Your Numbers’ interactive bootcamp to create your financial projections for investment, and to learn about how to gain & show traction of your (pre-revenue) startup.

Agenda:

10:00am – 12:00pm ET Creating Financial Projections for Investment Presentations

Let’s talk numbers. Financial Projections are key in all aspects of the startup fundraising process. Investors want to see numbers predicting your financial performance 3 -5 years down the road, but it could be a difficult task for the founder, especially if you’re just starting out. Our investor and financial experts will help you iron out your financial projections and learn the key metrics that will get investors excited about your growth strategy and vision.

Speakers:

Lisa Frusztajer – Angel Investor, The Capital Network, Portfolia, Pipeline Angels, Next Wave Ventures

Ian Mashiter – Angel Investor, Launchpad Venture Group; Curriculum Director at Innovate@BU

Johnnie Walker – Co-founder, Rooled

1:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET How to Gain & Show Traction for your Startup

Great job predicting your 5-year financial performance. Now, how do you show investors that your hockey stick financial projections are not just a dream? When you approach investors for funding, you will probably hear “I love your idea and passion, but come back when you have more traction.” What does traction really mean for investors? What are KPIs and why is everyone talking about them? And how can you gain and show traction when your startup is pre-revenue? Our investor and entrepreneur will answer these questions and help you define traction metrics for your startup and effectively communicate them with your potential investors.

Speakers:

Naseem Sayani, Co-founder at Emmeline Ventures

Nassim Adbi, CEO and Co-founder at StoryBolt
