For many founders, one of the main triggers for building a financial model is to raise capital. While a pitch deck will get investors emotionally attached to your business, a great financial model can land the final blow in your fundraise by telling your story in an investor's language - finance. On Thursday, September 12th at 2pm ET, we will address questions such as why build a financial model, what investors will be looking for, and how to present your model to investors during fundraising. Register today for this free webinar here: https://hubs.ly/Q02NL-B00 #startups #founders #funding #financialmodel

He asked if I would join him for an upcoming webinar session focused specifically on B2B SaaS companies raising a Series A round of funding. If you are a B2B SaaS founder building in India or US and raising from Indian VCs or US VCs, this webinar is for you. Also excited to partner with The Founder Folks for this event, to share with their global community of startup founders. ——— ➡️ Register Here: https://lu.ma/hcwebinar ♻️ Please reshare with your founder friends building B2B SaaS companies.

It’s great to see our Forecastr fan base growing and expanding! Thank you to all our awesome clients, investors and partners!
Forecastr fans in California! 🙌🏻 Thank you to Brian Mac Mahon, Ashutosh Kumar - Jha and the team at Expert Dojo for inviting me to participate in the Startup Workshop event at their offices in Santa Monica! I always love coming to these events and meeting so many amazing founders. And it always makes my day when founders find out I’m with Forecastr and are so excited to tell me they are using our software and who their dedicated analyst is. At this event, I also got to meet up with one of Forecastr’s earliest investors - Neal Bloom at Interlock Capital. Also, it was great to see Matthew Khalili there with The Plan Writers, and Garrison G. with Cake Equity.
