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.
