| Reasons whyáyou should create a financial model for your startup orásmall|
| business. áA good financial model can help you: |
| |
| 1. Test your assumptions and verify key drivers of your business |
| 2. Compare and contrast different business choices, like pricing models |
| 3. Calculate the ACTUAL amount of capital you need to startup |
| 4. Calculate your burn rate |
| 5. Model out your user growth |
| 6. Model out your expenses |
| 7. Be more prepared talking to potential investors |
| 8. And loads more. |
| |
| Building a financial model isn't just a vanity exercise. When done right, |
| it could help you betteráunderstand your business, whether it's a startup|
| or an existing business you're growing. |
| |
| But it's not easy and there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. |
| |
| Even if you have little to no finance background, if you're going to be |
| starting or running a business, this is a skill you need to have. |
| |
| But financial modeling requires the right tools and the right approach. |
| |
| We're going to show you how to do that with a wide variety of examples and |
| exercises. áBut we'll also be teaching general best practices that will |
| help you, no matter what you'll be building your financial models for in |
| the future. |
| |

| By signing up with us, you will be learning from two highly |
| ratedáinstructors that have a combined student count of over 120,000 |
| students and 8,000 review! |

| deliver the goods. |
| |
| Evan has extensive startup experience and previously worked as a venture |
| capitalist, where he evaluated 100's of startups thatátrying to convince |
| him to invest in them. |
| |
| Symon also has startup experience in both tech and brick & mortar |
| businesses. Previously he built tons of models while working in mergers |
| and acquisitions as well as in private equity. áAnd he'sáhelped dozens |
| ofástartups build financial models across a dozen different business |
| models and industries. |
| |
| Together, we pull directly from our experience and put it in this |
| course--in fact, two of the case studies use the ACTUAL financial models |
| used to raise funding. áThe other case studies are inspired by well known|
| startups you're sure to recognize. |
| |
| How is this different from Symon's Intro to Financial Modeling Course? |
| |
| The Intro to Financial Modeling course taught by Symon He and Brandon Young|
| is an introductory course on financial modeling that presents a general |
| overview covering the topic andáis more relevant to those who wish to |
| explore finance as a career option or those who want to understand |
| financial modeling in a corporate context. |
| |
| This course is all about financial modeling for startup businesses so it's |
| more geared towards entrepreneurs or small business owners who want to |
| better understand the key drivers of a new or growing business. |
| |
| There is almost zeroáoverlap. áEven though both courses introduce a |
| lemonade stand as an example, those examples and models are quite |
| different as they serve very different purposes. |
| |
| What if I don't have any finance or Excelábackground? |
| |
| No worries! This course isn't an Excel or Financeácourse, although you |
| will learn a bit of both.á We focus more on the rationale and the logic |
| of modeling specifically for startups or growingábusinesses,áso you can |
| take what you learn to other spreadsheet tools. |
| |
| But it will take practice.ááYou won't get better just watching the |
| videos.ááThat's why have lots of practice exercises and sample models |
| for you to learn from. |
| |
| What will I be able to do after I take your course? |
| |
| After taking ourácourse, you will be: |
| |
| * Able to confidently build financial models for your startup or new |
| business from scratch
