About Startup Finance Workshops & Seminars
Whether I’m speaking at a large-scale business summit or running a small-group corporate workshop, my approach is the same: zero theory-dumping. We focus on real-world case studies like term sheet negotiations and compliance checklists. You won't just hear about financial governance; you'll leave with actual templates and a roadmap to apply to your startup immediately.
Finance is often treated as a gatekeeper to growth, but it's really just the language of business. My workshops are built to strip away the 'CA jargon' that usually intimidates founders and replace it with straightforward, actionable insights.
What we actually cover:
- Fundraising Demystified: We break down the scary stuff like pre-money vs. post-money valuation, term sheet clauses, and how to build a data room that investors actually want to see.
- Compliance & Governance: We tackle the headache of Angel Tax, GST, and corporate structuring—not by reading sections of the act, but by looking at how real startups set this up so they don't get stuck later.
- The 'How-To' of Financial Modelling: For intensive workshops, we dive into spreadsheets. You'll learn how to project burn rates, manage EBITDA, and set up a financial roadmap that actually makes sense for your stage.
The 'Jargon Buster' Approach:
I don't do boring PowerPoint lectures. My sessions are designed to be interactive—whether it's an ICAI seminar in Bengaluru or a private masterclass in Kochi. We use real case studies, whiteboard sessions, and Q&A rounds where no question is too 'basic.'
If your team is struggling with the financial side of scaling, or if you need a session delivered in Malayalam to make sure everyone on the floor understands the numbers, I’m happy to tailor the content. You walk away with digital checklists and templates that you can use the next morning.
