Startup Funding Espresso -- Know Your Numbers
Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. I\u2019ve seen CEOs pitch and when asked about their numbers they defer to a CFO or someone else for the answers. This is not a good look for the CEO. Investors want to know you are on top of it, and knowing your numbers is one indication of it. As a startup, you should know your numbers inside and out. Investors will always ask for some numbers usually related to revenue, growth rates, and costs.\xa0\xa0 Before engaging an investor, review your numbers and be able to cite them if asked. Numbers that seem out of range from the standard will elicit questions, so for those numbers, you\u2019ll need to be able to explain them as well as what you are planning to do to improve them. If you have compelling numbers such as high-growth rates, be sure to bring this up in the pitch or follow-on discussion. Remember, it\u2019s up to you to articulate the values in the business. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0 Music courtesy of .
