When are you going to make money and how much?</p> <p>One thing that will be 100% certain about your numbers: they will be wrong.</p> <p>However, what is actually more important, is how you arrived at those numbers. Investors will be more interested in hearing what assumptions you made about the number of customers you are expecting to get, how much it costs to sell to them, what the costs are of producing your product or services, how much staff you will need, etc. etc. You have to demonstrate that you know your market, your abilities and the things you will need to make your vision a profitable reality.</p> <p>For some entrepreneurs, this is a really daunting topic. However, you must be able to understand your business and the numbers behind it, before you can convince anyone else to come along for the ride.</p> <p> Join us for TiE Oregon Pitch Club where our July speaker, Ana Andueza, will shed light on how to construct your financial model.</p> <p>As a CFO as well as an angel investor, Ana has broad experience in dealing with startups and finances.</p> <p>Currently the CFO at CFO with Criterion Brock, she is a TiE member, angel investor, and vice chair of the OEN's Angel Oregon. Previously she was the chief financial officer for Irwin Commercial Finance and U.S. Bancorp Equipment Finance. Earlier in her career, Andueza held senior accounting positions with U.S. Bank and Deloitte and Touche.</p> <p>Join us for this talk, networking and refreshments as well as pitch practice and actionable feedback!</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://oregon.tie.org/event/tie-oregon-pitch-club-july-2015/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
