Overview of interesting events and partner events

Startups are often built on a great product and rapid growth, but financial management remains rather intuitive, especially at the beginning of a business. This workshop will help you give finance a solid foundation and teach you to understand what the numbers in your business are really saying. It will take you practically through the key statements such as the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow and show you how they relate to each other. You’ll discover how to read financial data and how to make good decisions over it.

We are entering an era of “one-person billion dollar companies, which was previously considered unrealistic. The world is divided into two groups of companies: those that carry the backpack of legacy processes built for humans, and those that are born without it in the AI world. This is a huge opportunity for startups and scaleups – but only if they take it seriously now.
