Chris Stairs
Revenue Models, Funding, and Pro Forma
Chris can help you:
Design a financial plan and detailed 3-5 year pro forma. (Tools that have historically helped clients raise between $100,000 - $2,000,000 in debt, and/or equity-based financing)
Prepare the "money model" element of an investor pitch ("Cocktail Napkin Economics.") and be ready to recite (1) the average deal valuation, (2) path to cash positive, (3) accelerator story
Understand the business model, and how it dictates the operational model, cost structure, model model, and sales strategy
"Learn Your Numbers!"
Chris had the great fortune to work with dynamic teams responsible for some unique milestone accomplishments:
Development and Promotion of Award-Winning Tourist Programs
International Relocation of an NBA Franchise
Delivery of a "Record-Breaking" 2010 Winter Olympic Games
Revitalization and Reverse-Taker of a Canadian SaaS Venture
Also, Chris has spent the last eight years supporting business startups with their early-stage “money model” development, financial “pro forma,” sales program, and fundraising efforts. His expertise as an advisor comes from his own direct involvement in two Vancouver-based technology ventures. He thrives on the variety and challenge that each new venture client represents.
At the same time, Chris has developed a precise methodology on how best assess a startup's strengths, risks, opportunities, and most probable revenue path, regardless of the product or industry.
