What is Financial Intelligence?

The webinar will provide attendees with a fundamental understanding of essential financial concepts and strategies. It will help founders, managers, and non-financial professionals to understand the most important elements of financial statements, metrics, and key financial concepts - especially those necessary in early phases of developing and establishing a new venture. It provides practical insights into how business model, business plan, and business financials are connected and how to create meaningful financial projections. Participants will be engaged in hand-on exercises to apply their financial intelligence.

Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of the most relevant financial aspects of a startup or new venture. Financial intelligence will lead to better decision-making in early phase venue building and the ability to communicate more effectively with business and financial experts.

It will help to better navigate the financial aspects of their roles and organisation.
