Who it's for
Founders building or revising their financial model ahead of a raise. Part of Numbers That Hold Up; pairs with Ready to Raise. No experience required.
What you leave with
A driver-based 18-month forecast
A use-of-funds tied to milestones
AI-era revenue and cost modeling
The Problem
A forecast built on hope gets found out in the first diligence call — especially now that usage-based revenue and compute costs don’t fit the old modeling playbook.
The Session
Build the driver-based 18-month forecast investors expect, modeling usage and outcome revenue alongside compute costs — not just seats — and tie your use-of-funds to real milestones.
