“This course was a great kickstart to understanding what a startup should think about in terms of financial processes and building meaningful models to guide decisions.”
Finance can be confusing for founders to understand and requires learning a new set of terms, processes, and tools.
Creating a process to budget, forecast, analyze, and report the key metrics for your business is hard. We'll teach you what to care about, and how to do it.

Taylor Davidson, Founder, Foresight
I created the financial models behind Foresight so early-stage entrepreneurs can spend less time on finance and more time on their products. I care about financial modeling because I believe that financial models can help us make critical business decisions even if the models themselves are not “always right”. Financial models can help even the earliest entrepreneurs if we build “minimum viable models” to focus on the decisions that matter most.
