Introduction
/02
Whether you are an investment company,
or you are looking for funding, the common
goal is to have a successful company.
Realistic business development, fair entry and
exit valuation and diligent management by
objectives are key.
Easier said than done. Especially in ever
changing situation.
In order to succeed, any management
needs to build its decisions around the most
influential business drivers, applying ‘in-time’
thinking to various what-ifs.
Evolution of KPIs, knowing how today’s
management decisions might influence
their long term development, understanding
what it takes to manage them and adopting
adequate communication so that such
decisions are well received by investors,
bankers and employees is an imperative of
successful business.

GIDE is a modelling software that enables
users to intuitively analyse the past,
determine trends, and define possible future
development.
GIDE integrates actual finance and non-
finance data from multiple data sources
and creates a unified data platform for all
participants in the decision making process.
It then enables users to run relational analysis
on that data, and model the future based
on a comprehensive reality check of where
they are now to determine how to generate
growth and value.
Users can play with different operational and
investment assumptions to fine tune valuation
and capital structure to be employed and
have instant actual valuation and the variation
from valuation targets.
GIDE supports data-driven decisions for
managing operations by objectives and
assessing milestones towards either exit or
the next round of financing.
GIDE ensures that the companies and
their investors have together a workable
framework on which to formulate business
development strategy and provides an
overall, comprehensive view of the company’s
operations and financial needs over a long
term period.
