What is Scenario Modeling?

While the cap table is the most important part of a growing company, it is not always completely transparent. There are instances where you, as a CXO, might want to have a clear insight into how certain fundraising or exit round will impact shareholders and the valuation of your company. This is when scenario modeling comes into play.

Why is Scenario Modeling important?

Assume that your latest fundraising round went great, you received an over-commitment from investors, and you have had an incredible amount of term sheets. How will you determine the ones that will be most beneficial for you? Even with just a choice of a few term sheets, selecting the right one might be an overwhelming decision. And with different amounts and terms, it can be hard to know which one is the best choice for you and your business. Actually, it was hard to know.
