Company Building and Fundraising with Scott Walbrun: Presented by NSF I-Corps Hub Northwest [Session III]
Join NSF I-Corps Hub Northwest and Scott Walbrun, Venture Capitalist at BMW i Ventures, for a three-part intensive series designed to take you from lab innovation to investor-ready.
This hands-on program demystifies fundraising by teaching you how investors evaluate startups, and how to build a model that proves your venture’s potential.
You’ll learn how to:
Master the Fundamentals: Turn assumptions and raw data into a strategic growth plan
Raise Capital with Confidence: Understand what VCs look for, and what they won’t fund
Build as You Go: Work directly in Excel and develop your own financial model using a guided template
Session III: Unit Economics & Financial Modeling
Unit Economics, Forecasting Growth, and Assessing Cash Needs
Thursday, March 12, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM PST | Virtual
Learn how to evaluate your company’s unit economics, forecast scalable growth, and understand your runway, peak cash needs, and fundraising timing. You’ll build the financial insight needed to identify growth opportunities, quantify what it will take to scale, and integrate your model into a compelling, data-backed narrative that investors trust.
You’ll leave with a practical, investor-ready framework that connects your strategy to the metrics and milestones that drive funding decisions.
