Building Your Financial Model
This article walks founders through the essentials of building a financial model that supports fundraising, and what investors expect from your numbers.

A financial model isn’t just math — it’s your story in numbers.
For founders raising capital, a clear, credible model is mandatory. Investors don’t expect perfection. But they do expect logic, assumptions, and a path to scale.
A great model makes your business feel inevitable.
VCs look for models that demonstrate:
This isn’t just a spreadsheet. It’s how you prove your business works — and what capital can unlock.
Your model should match your stage. Early-stage = more assumptions, less precision. But the logic still has to land.
If your model takes 30 minutes to explain, it’s not ready. If it drives clarity in 3 minutes, you’re close.
A great model answers the investor’s internal monologue:
“If I write this check, where does it take them — and what’s next?”
It should connect funding to milestones — not just cover your burn.
We build investor-grade financial models that drive clarity, not confusion.
Tailored to your business model. Ready for the data room.
