So, sorry to everyone for the huge delay in actually scheduling a meetup... April was a busy month for both me and all perspective speakers and May is looking no better. But, there's no time like the present, so I'd like to invite you all to the first Active Startup meeting a week from Tuesday.

As a topic, I'll kick start discussion with a short informal presentation on the basics of financial modeling as they apply to startups, and then we can open up discussion to other topics/problems people may want to discuss.

TOPIC: Financial Modeling for Startups

A lot of people have great ideas, but unless those ideas will make money, they're not going to become sustainable businesses.

Financial Modeling is a process to study how your business makes money.

By looking at how money moves through you business, you can answer questions like: will my business be profitable? What will be the key drivers to success? What are the financial pitfalls and risk?

I'll give a brief overview of some of the over arching principals, and then run through an example of how this might be applied to say a online textbook rental company.

And then maybe we can try breaking down one of your own business ideas.

Hope this is of interest.

ALSO:

If anyone has a digital projector they could bring, please let me know. It'd like to display some power point slides, but if not we'll improvise.

If people don't mind chipping in a little cash we'll order some pizza to keep you all happpy.
