If you are a current or aspiring business owner looking to improve your financial projections and analyses, this program is for you! Will Pouncey of Optics Consulting is bringing his expertise on startup funding, growth strategies, and financial forecasting to the IDEA Bank!

"Back of the Napkin Numbers"

Good financial projections can help entrepreneurs increase their confidence when starting a business, effectively pitch to founding partners and team members, and maximize their chance of receiving funding/investment. In the pre-sales stage, entrepreneurs don't have historical data to utilize for financial analysis. Instead, they must be creative and resourceful. This pre-sales form of financial projections is commonly referred to as "back of the napkin numbers". To do this right, entrepreneurs must make accurate assessments in three key areas: Opportunity, Performance, and Cost. In this session, we will first discuss how to create great financial projections as a startup, and then we will work through an example together to showcase these concepts in action.
