The most challenging aspect of fundraising is telling a story around the numbers.Most founders excel at communicating their passion and communicating the need their product is solving for, but it’s communicating the financials and the business dynamics—the FP&A—that often trip them up.Wouldn't it be nice if there was a software platform that could help you out with this?David Greenbaum thought the same thing while shepherding his previous startup, Boost Media, through fundraising rounds. There wasn’t a platform at the time centered around financial models, so he built one—OnPlan—where he serves as CEO.Topics covered:-Combining the strengths of spreadsheets with engineering best practices-3 reasons to develop financial models-Why agility is the one true competitive advantage for startups-The value of thinking backwards and generating scenariosThis discussion with David Greenbaum was taken from our show Startup Success.
