Whether you're gearing up to raise your first round or preparing to scale, your financial model isn't just a spreadsheet — it's a story. Joe will break down why getting your forecasting right is fundamental to winning investor confidence, making strategic decisions, and keeping control of your fundraising journey and beyond. 


This session will go beyond theory, offering practical insights on what great forecasting looks like and what investors / other stakeholders are looking for when they ask you for your financial model / a set of forecasts.


Joe brings deep expertise from the frontlines of finance — both from his previous experience within the bank and as a consultant, along with being a founder himself of Powdr, the financial modelling tool now trusted by founders, VCs, accountants and public sector growth programmes alike.


This workshop is part of a brilliant morning event for early-stage founders, and Joe’s session is not one to miss.
