I build the financial models and valuation analysis that early-stage founders bring into their fundraising conversations — DCF, comps, and precedent transactions, grounded in real seed-stage deal data. I work directly with founders and small teams who need investor-ready numbers without the internal finance department to build them. Recent work includes valuation and financial modeling assignments for seed-stage companies, and a business valuation engagement for a Section 83(b)/minority-interest matter — the kind of technical work that has to hold up under investor or IRS scrutiny, not just look clean in a deck. What I typically deliver: Financial models built for fundraising — revenue build-ups, unit economics, runway/burn scenarios Valuation via DCF, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions Sensitivity and scenario analysis so you can defend assumptions in a term sheet conversation, not just present them I'm a CFA charterholder, which mostly matters here because it means the methodology behind your numbers is something an institutional investor will recognize and trust — not a black-box spreadsheet. If you're heading into a raise and need the model and the valuation story to match what you're pitching, I'd be glad to talk through where you are.
