As a founder, your financial plan isn’t just a spreadsheet—it’s the roadmap that guides your decisions and convinces others to believe in your vision. In this episode, we’ll explore the five essential questions every founder needs to answer when building a financial plan:
How much revenue can you realistically expect?
What costs will fuel your growth?
Where does profitability come from?
When—and how much—funding will you need?
What key assumptions hold your plan together?
These questions aren’t about pleasing investors; they’re about giving you, the founder, clarity and control. Tune in to learn how to turn your numbers into a story that drives smarter decisions and keeps your startup on track.
