CFOs when the checkerrors in their financial models zero out be like... Ok now I've got your attention, back to adding value :) Things are tough out there in the early stage ecosystem but, at EmergeOne our mission is to help founders, and their startups succeed. The reality is, however, our services are best aligned with venture backed tech startups from seed through series B. So moving forward we will be choosing one early stage startup to build a financial model for every single month for zero cash. But, as your parents probably told you, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch, so instead of cash we will be building the model for a teeny tiny piece of your cap table so that not only do you get a model but we stay aligned with you for your whole journey. Why are we doing this? 1️⃣ There are a tonne of free financial model templates on the interweb but frankly, they're all pants. 2️⃣ We understand that many founders struggle with translating their business into numbers and, even more so into a financial model that investors can navigate. 3️⃣ Unlike the mass of free resources around what makes a great pitch deck, building a financial model requires not just an understanding of your business, but also, an understanding of Excel or Google Sheets and their formulas which can be quite daunting. 4️⃣ As you'll see below, we want to help founders that don't always get the fairest shot in the first place. 5️⃣ We want to give back to the ecosystem we love so much. So what are the criteria? 🙋🏽♀️ Founder must be female or of minority ethnic background. 💸 Currently raising your first round, founders only on the cap table. 🇬🇧 UK business and already incorporated. I'll be working with Joe Newbold, one of EmergeOne's longest serving startup finance pros on this, he and I have both built 100s of models for businesses from pre-seed all the way to Series C and we not only know what good looks like, we know how to make models that you can then go and use hopefully well into the future. So, if you want your model built by folk that know what they're doing, fill out the form below 👇🏾 https://lnkd.in/dwJ3zJft __________________ I'm Aarish, founder of EmergeOne, host of Nothing Ventured and author of Off Balance where I talk and write about about tech, startups, Venture Capital, finance and CFO stuff.

Hi Guys, Thoughts & Updates of the Day!, Pronoy here. Good news!, We’ve completed the 28th page, "MGC Post-Funding Financial Performance & Projections," out of 32 pages. We initially had 33 pages in our pitch deck but decided to remove one unnecessary page, "Special Q&A," as most of the questions were already answered in previous sections. On page 28, "MGC Financial Overview" we’ve simplified the financials to focus solely on the income statement for clarity. This includes both current status and future projections. We haven’t included the balance sheet or cash flow projections due to the lack of necessary resources and detailed planning at this stage. However, we can provide them post-funding, after setting up HQ, building the team, and completing essential groundwork for our growth phase if required by partners and investors. We will focus on finishing the remaining 4-5 pages of our pitch deck and developing our overall growth-stage game plan soon. Let’s see if we can complete this work by next week. Once finalized, we’ll resume our fundraising efforts, seeking $3M for a 2-year runway. This funding will allow us to build a stronger team (70+), set up our headquarters in Kolkata, execute our go-to-market strategy, and achieve the global revenue and profitability we’ve projected. As most of you know, we at Mohanta Group are on track to become India’s first fintech conglomerate startup, comprising 9 startups across 4 main brands and 5 subsidiaries. Currently self-funded, we aim to transition into a VC-backed growth-stage conglomerate startup. Our subsidiaries will also progress: PMZ Wealth Creator will move to the scale stage, 24x7Websolution Corporation and Maa Saraswati City Education and Career Centre to the growth stages, and PMZ On-Demand and PMZTV Network to the pre-growth stages. We’ll address three universal problems: effective wealth management, improving business efficiency (with a focus on revenue growth), and career development across proprietary, B2C, and B2B models. Four of our subsidiaries are at the MVP stage, while PMZ Wealth Creator is at the PMF stage. We’ve identified 13+ high-potential partners, including VCs and DII candidates, along with new potential investors. We’ll start with those who have shown the most support, aiming to secure 5 investors. We hope they recognize our long-term massive wealth creation potential and help us advance to the growth and scale stage, achieving impactful outcomes over the next decade!.

This is one of those 'founder deeply understands a common problem better than most people' startups... Financial modelling is key to the success of any substantial business. And yet a lot of the time, these models just aren’t very robust. That’s what Joe van Gelder found when he worked in banking. “You'd find that lots of the information you'd get from your customers was of poor quality. You wouldn't be able to follow it through. You'd find these models that were hung together by Blu Tack and silly string, and they would fall apart very quickly.” Sure, there are consultants who can come up with a better model for a large fee, but these models don’t grow with the business, so they’re very much a one-shot solution. Now Joe has co-founded Powdr, a startup that offers software to build financial models that grow with a business, rather than breaking after use.

Trolley isn’t just making moves—it’s rewriting the playbook. $23 million in Series B funding just landed, courtesy of Wavecrest Growth Partners leading the charge, with Pace Capital and GreenSky Ventures in the mix. Tim Nixon, the mastermind CEO and founder, is steering this Toronto-born powerhouse into uncharted territory, turning payouts and tax compliance into an art form. The kind that businesses don’t just appreciate—they can’t function without. This isn’t your standard “look, we got funding” story. Trolley is scaling the mountain of cross-border payments, dragging outdated systems kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Billions in annual payments, 2.5 million recipients, 210+ countries served—it’s global domination with a side of razor-sharp precision. They’re taking the internet economy’s wild west of payouts and whipping it into shape, slashing compliance costs by 35%, keeping 99.99% uptime, and moving money so fast, even banks are taking notes. And let’s not ignore the tech flex here: fraud prevention that catches what others miss, ID verification to keep things clean, tax compliance across 200+ jurisdictions, and parent-child account management that scales like it’s 2050. Toss in NetSuite integration, and Trolley isn’t just building a platform; they’re building the infrastructure for how global business gets paid. It’s no wonder heavyweights like Envato, Downtown Music, and GoTo have hitched their wagons to this rocket. But this is just the warm-up. With this fresh $23M injection, Trolley is gearing up to plant flags in even more territories, scale their go-to-market teams, and keep innovating where it matters—compliance and efficiency. Tim Nixon and his team aren’t just running a company; they’re orchestrating a global takeover with a fintech symphony that’s as ambitious as it is effective. This is the kind of momentum that doesn’t just shake up the industry—it reshapes it. For every startup eyeing global growth or every #Fortune500 chasing efficiency, Trolley’s making it clear: there’s a new standard in payouts. It’s faster. It’s smarter. And it’s here to stay. Tim Nixon, take a bow. The internet economy just found its backbone. #Fintech #Payments #TaxCompliance #IDVerification #Compliance #Efficiency #Technology #Innovation #TechEcosystem #VentureCapital #StartupFunding #StartupEcosystem #Startups
