A well-built financial model tells your business story in numbers. It’s a decision tool, not just a spreadsheet. Whether you’re raising capital or managing runway, good modeling discipline is essential.
Key Points:
- Begin with realistic, data-backed assumptions.
- Separate inputs, calculations, and outputs for clarity and flexibility.
- Incorporate multiple scenarios — base, best, and worst cases.
- Design your model to be investor-friendly and easily auditable.
