STUDENT REVIEWS

“I've previously spent more than a thousand bucks on business financial consultations which didn't even explain 10% of what this course covers in less than two hours. You get to know real life metrics and milestones that your company must achieve to survive and prosper.” Oleg

“A must for start ups. This is the first course I finished on Udemy! This course covers a lot and Lili was able to condense it to the essential, important things everyone going into a start up should know. A very big bonus is the downloadable excel spreadsheet that contains pretty much everything you need to understand financially when starting a business. Highly recommend.” Mic

“Es un buen curso, Lili sabe mucho sobre el tema, pero quisiera haber tenido mas énfasis en el modelo financiero.” Mateo

Was a great match in learning the basics of financial modeling. Particularly like how the different business models require different ways of approaching financial modeling but there's a holistic approach to do it too. The templates and going through it helped with my further understanding of it also. Cheers to Lili!

A comprehensive refresher on the core language used in this aspect of entrepreneurship.

Would be great to have more India specific or global examples of tech start ups.

The course is great. The instructor is highly knowledgeable about the topic, but delivers it in a way that is easy to understand. Methods of making assumptions when building projections are clearly explained, which is exactly what I needed for the requirements of my job.
