The UC Davis Venture Catalyst
KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE

Featuring:

• Fred Ruegsegger, Managing Director, Four Oaks Partners

Defining the resources required to achieve the objectives and milestones of early stage enterprises is a critical activity. A business plan helps define the human, technology, financial and other resources required as well as serves as a tool in communicating with others about a business opportunity or technology project. As part of a business plan, financial models serve an important role in defining the scope of financial resources required as well as the possible financial future for the company. The financial model also helps founders and executives assemble a financial plan for the company for use in managing the business as well as communicating financial information to potential investors, partners and other third parties. This talk, led by Fred Ruegsegger, an experienced financial manager and Managing Director of Four Oaks Partners, will provide an overview of financial modeling for early-stage startups along with examples of financial models, including key inputs and outputs.
