/ About this event

Two brave founders are about to have their financial model taken apart in front of a room full of people.

They will pitch their business and walk through their actual financial models, spreadsheet warts and all. A panel of judges reviews it the way investors do in real diligence and tells the room exactly where it holds up and where it falls apart.

Then, Forecastr's co-founders will rebuild it live on screen: customer acquisition, revenue, expenses, and a full set of investor-ready financials, in about 30 minutes.

If you've ever wondered what investors are actually thinking when they open your model, this is your chance to watch it happen to someone else first.

What you'll see: - A real founder's model evaluated through an investor's lens, live and unscripted - The gaps founders most often miss in their own numbers - A start-to-finish rebuild of a fundable financial model - Q&A with the judges and Forecastr's co-founders

Agenda: 6pm - Networking 6:30-7pm - Founder #1 Financial Model Makeover 7-7:30pm - Founder # 2 Financial Model Makeover 7:30-8 - Networking continues
