Building Credible Financials for Early-Stage Investors | Online

About this event

Featured Expert: David Ehrenberg has been a long-time friend, partner and mentor for Columbia University Entrepreneurship. He started Early Growth Financial Services to provide a service that didn't exist when he was working at early stage companies – high-quality accounting and strategic financial consulting services on demand.

Overview: Join David for a 90-minute presentation, which will lay out:

• What angels are looking for
• What really impresses them
• What they DON'T want to see

What You'll Take Away: Founders of early-stage ventures are in love with their products, and all too often, they want to tell the whole, long story. Early-stage investors are all to often jaded, cynical and well, just real busy. If they even give you 10 minutes, it is likely that they're distracted. How can founders make the most out of their pitch? How can you edit your the financial side of your story down to the most compelling bits?

David has seen it all, from both sides of the conversation. In this workshop, he'll help you understand what is most relevant to investors and what is superfluous. He'll help you gain an understanding how to build credibility by telling a credible story through numbers.

Why It Matters: If you're raising capital for the first time, you'll be a novice going up against a hardened veteran. Most founders can clearly articulate their value proposition, but sometimes struggle when it comes to telling a concise and credible numbers story.
