I had a chance to take Eric's last Finance for Startups with my Product Manager. After taking the course it is amazing how we look at our online business differently now. . . . We no longer focus on the sale but the Lifetime value of a customer and we have as a company analyzed and re-adjusted all of our online marketing budgets to reflect this fresh focus. . . . Just in the past 90 days we have seen phenomenal growth. . . If you are reading this. . . . THEN TAKE THE COURSE, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! Thank you Eric

Chief of Staff, aim of taking this course: upskill in financial management (currently managing the P&L of a Series A SaaS company)
This course is a 10/10 recommendation for anyone who needs to quickly and efficiently learn the ropes of financial management, then put it straight into practice.
Eric is brilliant at breaking down concepts and helping you learn by building them back up with you. Eric's ability to explain and then illustrate concepts of financial management is an effective teaching method. Not to mention the case studies that Eric has built, which are a highly effective way of putting your new skills into practice right away.

While there may be tons of options for online learning in the finance and SaaS space, this course provides one of the greatest returns on investment you’ll find. Eric has essentially compiled a ‘bootcamp’, pulling from his own knowledge and experiences from the past 10+ years in the start-up space, working with a range of companies operating in different verticals in the SaaS ecosystem. It features personal case studies, uses real life examples, and provides a suite of tremendously detailed and useful Excel templates, ultimately empowering you to think, speak and work authentically and effectively.

I’m Louie Sumalinog, working on brand development at startup company in the Philippines. Finance for Startups has been instrumental in helping me understand the financial aspects of growing a brand-focused business. The course breaks down complex financial concepts into actionable steps, making it easier to apply them directly to my work. The best part of Finance for Startups is the real-world relevance and the practical insights provided, which have given me confidence in financial planning and decision-making. Highly recommended for anyone looking to strengthen their financial knowledge for business success!

This has been an incredibly fantastic course to participate in. As someone who has written on startups for years now, it's great to understand the finances behind them with these lightweight, powerful models that Eric has created and honed over his years of experience. I look forward to revisiting the course's content, especially on the SaaS Financial Models module.
I look at financial models as the quantitative version of a startup's narrative. (The qualitative version is its pitch deck. ) Thank you Eric for these wonderful lessons.

Exceptional course! This course taught me how to address the overall business model of a startup in financials throughout the sales funnel, which essentially fills out any gap you have if you are in the ideation phase of building a startup. I gained invaluable skills in just weeks. Most importantly, the comprehensive guideline to fundraising with all the vehicles' specifics is a gem! Thanks a lot Eric for designing this course.

So, I just kicked off my own accounting gig, mainly diving into the world of fractional CFO services for tech startups. And guess what? Eric's program has been a game-changer for me. His video lectures and live streams are spot-on – clear, to the point, and super helpful.
What I really appreciate is that he doesn't just stop at delivering content; he's all about going that extra mile. No kidding, he takes the time to make sure all our questions get not just answered, but answered thoroughly. In the live streams, he's a trooper, never griping about staying overtime to sort out everyone's queries.
If you're on the lookout for a program that'll seriously amp up your FP&A game for startups, Eric's got the goods. Check it out – totally worth it!

I would recommend Finance for StartUps, hands down. I first came across Eric's finance videos on Youtube. If you haven't seen any of those, go check them out. Eric has a way of explaining complicated subjects very clearly and concisely. If any questions come up while going through the course, Eric is super responsive and happy to help talk through any questions. There are multiple live sessions that allow for two-way dialogue on the subjects being taught. Also, it's nice that you can download the excel docs referenced throughout the course and use them as templates.
I've taken other finance and accounting courses while getting an MBA and I can say with confidence that the Finance for Satrups curriculum is more applicable to my role as Director of Retail and founder of my own ecom company. Definitely a great value for the price paid.

After watching a few of Eric's youtube videos, I realized he is sharing knowledge that startup founders really struggle to find elsewhere. His Finance for Startups course built upon those concepts and helped me navigate the complexities of marketing, tech and fundraising in startups. All his videos are extremely hands on and helped me become a much more effective entrepreneur. Kudos!

I have had the pleasure to be a part of Eric's Cohort 5 Finance for Start-ups and I only wish I could have taken the course a couple of years back when I started on my entrepreneurial journey. It has really helped me understand how to define and evaluate key metrics / KPIs for an early stage start-up. Eric's deep passion and commitment to help start-ups and founders navigate the financial domain is simply unparalleled. Highly recommend the course!

This course has been a great refresher and source of new knowledge on how to look at startups from a finance perspective. Having worked at the two largest tech companies in Latin America, I wish I would have taken this course sooner.

Pretty good course and resource you can always reference for people in the startups/VC landscape, particularly the financial models. Also like how Eric ties in marketing topics and doesn't just ignore it. Just have to apply what Eric taught and do the reps. Wished the messy startup models I looked/look at were as clean as these models XD
