Thank you Steven Plappert for sharing why financial models are so important with our USC founders! ??
What is a financial model and what does it tell you? And how do you build your own and use it effectively? Unless you're finance-savvy, this is a bump that many founders have to face. We're excited to share that Steven Plappert will be speaking to the founders in the USC and Techstars University Catalyst Program and sharing the power of a great financial model! As a Techstars Alumni, Steven embodies the #GiveFirst mentality, sharing his knowledge to help founders succeed. He passionately believes that financial models are essential not only for fundraising, but also as the backbone of effective business operations. Special thank you to USC and Techstars Digital Economy Program, Techstars, and USC Research and Innovation for putting on this great workshop!
