VIP-INC Workshop: Financial Modeling

This in-person workshop is for Penn students and their team members who are part of the VIP Incubator.

Your startup’s story doesn’t stop at the pitch—it lives in the numbers. Investors want more than ideas; they want clarity on how you’ll make money, scale, and dominate. This in-person workshop for Penn students and their team members in the VIP Incubator will teach you how to master the financial side of your venture, making you pitch-ready and investor-confident.

Is This Session for Me?

If you’re ready to dive into the numbers and build a financial foundation for your venture, this session will teach you to:

• Crack Your Unit Economics: Understand what drives revenue, costs, and profitability for your startup.
• Build a Scalable Model: Link sales and marketing directly to growth in a way that’s investor-friendly.
• Be Investor-Ready: Learn to craft 3-year P&L statements and funding plans that answer tough questions with confidence.

Maximize Your Experience:Bring your draft financial plan to the session to get the most out of it. First-timers? Start with the unit economics worksheet available on the Startup Resources Canvas page.
