gain that market share.

drivers of value in the business.

business related to various costs, investments,
etc.

order to achieve the projected results.

43. Group Breakout
• Groups of 5
• Identify 1 Company in your group
• What are your key drivers of revenue and cost?
44. Big Questions
• How detailed of a model?
• How aggressive should my assumptions be?
• Item level build up, or % of revenue
• Are a cash flow statement or balance sheet
necessary?
45. How Detailed?
• “The VC One (maybe two) Level Deeper Test”
• Match to comparable companies
• Depends on what data you have
• Minimize # of complete guesses
• Not all your data/buildup has to live in the model
46. Cash Flow Statement and Balance
Sheet?
• No.. Unless
• Income statement + cash balance estimate
• Unless:
– Cash flow is meaningfully different from net income/
EBITDA
– You are trying to model exactly how many payrolls you
have left
– You are a later stage company
47. Specific Line Items vs. % of
Revenue
• Specific detail, as long as you can reasonably
predict it, then bail…and go to % of revenue
• Important metrics for YOUR biz, model further
