From Story to Numbers: Turning Your Vision Into Investor-Ready Financials
Every founder has a story.
But when it’s time to raise capital, investors don’t just want the vision — they want to see it reflected in the numbers.
Join our special guest Sasha Orloff, Founder & CEO of Puzzle, for a live session on how to translate your company’s narrative into clear, credible, and investor-ready financials — without overcomplicating things or losing the story that makes your business compelling.
In this session, we’ll cover:
How to turn your product and growth story into a financial model investors trust
What investors actually look for in financials (and what they ignore)
Common mistakes founders make when preparing numbers for fundraising
How to stay organized and aligned as your company scales
Whether you’re preparing for your first raise or gearing up for your next round, this session will help you connect the dots between vision, operations, and financials.
Come for the clarity. Leave with numbers that tell your story.
