How can you evaluate a startup's financial projections?
A pre-revenue startup's financial projections provide insight into how the entrepreneur thinks about getting to product-market fit, how they think about running and growing their business thereafter, what scale can be achieved, and sometimes, what exit is possible. The immediately important numbers are the marketplace metrics they hope to achieve with this fundraising tranche, and how well their projected spend aligns with those goals. The next thing to assess is if they raising the right amount to achieve those goals. If the numbers pass those tests, are the longer-term projections based on realistic assumptions: marketing spend, growth, churn, customer support, etc. Lastly, do the numbers tell a story that leads to a desirable exit?

Founder & Chairperson
MIT Female Founders Pitch Competition
- Present 2 years 9 months
Economic Empowerment
Worked with my talented event co-founders to create this flagship event for the MIT Sloan Club of New York. This 1st Annual MIT Female Founders Pitch Competition will be a yearly, flagship event for the MIT Sloan Club of New York, focused on driving awareness of and addressing the gender discrepancies in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Women have been underrepresented in pitch competitions, as VC-backed entrepreneurs, and as VCs for a long time. We hope to change things for the better.
