Join the latest Get Started Talks as Richard York shares "Financial Models: The Key to Business Success".

A great idea isn't enough. Investors, partners, and even your own team need to see a clear financial path to growth and sustainability. A well-structured financial model helps you make smarter decisions, secure funding, and avoid many common pitfalls.

This session will break down the core elements of a financial model, making it easy to understand—you don't need to be a finance expert.

You'll learn:

• What a financial model is—and why every business needs one
• Key components: revenue projections, cost structure, cash flow, and more
• How to build a model that supports fundraising and strategic decisions
• Common mistakes startups make in financial planning—and how to avoid them
• Practical steps to start structuring your own financial model
