A first investor conversation turns on a handful of figures, and the damage is usually done by two versions of the same number. This course prepares what a founder is asked for first, and where your figures and your accountant's will differ.
Seven lessons. The figures that come up first, prepared before anybody asks for them.
The meeting goes well until a number is repeated back slightly differently from how it was sent. The gap is small and nobody is being dishonest. The rest of the meeting is about the discrepancy.
This course settles the numbers first. One definition of revenue you use everywhere, cash and monthly spend and the months between them, what a single customer costs and returns, the documents an investor will open, and the places where a founder's figures and the accounts are expected to differ.
Founders preparing a first raise: with a deck ready and the numbers behind it still moving.
Founders already in conversations: answering the same questions at every table.
Operations and finance leads: assembling the documents while the founder takes the calls.
The course is about being consistent and unsurprised when the questions come.
This course is part of the academy's invite-only offering.
Access to this course is managed by the academy owner. Reach out to them if you would like to join.
