If You Are Starting Your Business

Financial Planning Situation

Antonio graduated from a top 10 engineering school and was recruited by Facebook. Over the last 5 years there, he has worn multiple hats and has contributed to numerous projects. It has been his dream to found a startup on his own someday. He feels now is the time. However, he has the following doubts in his mind:

  • He has saved up some money for this venture, how long can this last? What if the startup fails?
  • It takes years to decades for a startup to succeed, how can he make sure that his family is not suffering financially because of his pursuit of his dreams?
  • He is not a finance guy, nor can he afford a CFO on day 1. How can he find assistance to manage his company cash flow and financials as he bootstraps?
