Financial Modeling Workshop | Washington, D.C.
About this workshop
A well-designed financial model helps you determine financing needs, acts as your company’s "resume" to financing parties, and serves as a valuable tool for negotiating with investors. The best models are those which can scale with your business, an aspect that is particularly crucial for startup founders and CFO's. This class is geared towards entrepreneurs looking to develop a financial model for the purpose of securing funding from investors.
