5 Rules of Thumb for Startup Financial Projections

5 Rules of Thumb for Startup Financial Projections Marty Zwilling

Quote: « Most entrepreneurs struggle with financial projections, not wanting to commit to numbers they can’t deliver, and having no clue what investors might consider reasonable. However, making no projections, or non-credible projections will get your startup marked as unfundable.

The rules are obviously not absolute, but you must be prepared to explain to potential investors why your startup is the exception to these guidelines:

  • Aggressive revenue projections and growth rate.
  • Gross margins greater than 50 percent.
  • Show red ink to match your funding request.
  • Build a path to 10x return »
