Financial Modelling and Investor Storytelling
How do you turn an ambitious quantum roadmap into a credible financial story for investors?
Quantum companies often operate with long development cycles, significant R&D requirements and uncertain commercialisation timelines. Building a robust financial model - and being able to explain the assumptions behind it - is therefore an important part of becoming investment-ready.
In this session, Jordi Wardenburg will help founders connect their technology roadmap, team growth, capital expenditure, R&D plans, revenue expectations and funding needs into a coherent financial model and investor narrative.
From financial model to investor story
A good financial forecast is more than a spreadsheet. It helps founders understand what resources are required to reach their next milestones and provides investors with a clearer picture of how the company plans to grow.
The session will explore how to translate your business and technology roadmap into financial projections, and how to use those projections effectively in your investor pitch.
What we'll cover
