Your startup’s story doesn’t stop at the pitch—it lives in the numbers. Investors want more than ideas; they want clarity on how you’ll make money, scale, and dominate. This in-person workshop for Penn students and their team members in the VIP Incubator will teach you how to master the financial side of your venture, making you pitch-ready and investor-confident.

Is This Session for Me?

If you’re ready to dive into the numbers and build a financial foundation for your venture, this session will teach you to:

Crack Your Unit Economics: Understand what drives revenue, costs, and profitability for your startup.

Build a Scalable Model: Link sales and marketing directly to growth in a way that’s investor-friendly.

Be Investor-Ready: Learn to craft 3-year P&L statements and funding plans that answer tough questions with confidence.

Maximize Your Experience:Bring your draft financial plan to the session to get the most out of it. First-timers? Start with the unit economics worksheet available on the Startup Resources Canvas page.
