Who this is for

The right fit before you book the review

The Investor Readiness Review is a focused, fixed-scope service rather than an open-ended engagement. These are the situations where it delivers the most value.

  • You are a pre-seed or seed-stage tech founder with an existing financial model.
  • You are preparing for investor conversations and want to understand where your assumptions may be challenged.
  • You want expert feedback on the model’s logic and investor readiness without commissioning a full rebuild.
  • You want a fast, senior-level review before committing to a larger financial modeling engagement.

What you receive

What is included in the review

The review gives you a structured assessment of the model, a prioritized list of issues, and a clear framework for addressing investor questions.

Included 01

Investor readiness memo

A written review of model logic, assumptions, consistency, investor-facing risks, and areas that may require further support or explanation.

Included 02

Prioritized action list

Findings are ranked so you can distinguish critical issues from secondary improvements and focus first on the points most likely to affect investor confidence.

Included 03

45-minute review debrief

A focused call to walk through the findings, answer questions, and clarify how to position the model during fundraising discussions.

Included 04

Five-business-day delivery

The written review is delivered within five business days after payment, the completed intake form, and an accessible financial model have been received.

Scope boundary: The Investor Readiness Review is an advisory review of an existing financial model. It does not include rebuilding the model, editing spreadsheet formulas, preparing missing projections, completing a formal valuation, or implementing the recommendations. Additional work can be scoped separately.

How it works

Three steps. Fixed scope. Clear output.

The process is intentionally simple. Book the review, submit the model and business context, and receive a structured assessment within a defined timeline.

01

Book and complete your submission

Complete payment and submit the intake form with an accessible copy of your financial model. The five-business-day review period begins once the submission is complete and Finro has everything required to proceed.

Output: booking confirmation and intake submission
02

Receive the written review

Finro reviews the model’s operating assumptions, internal logic, consistency, scalability, and the points most likely to be challenged during investor discussions.

Output: written review memo and prioritized action list
03

Debrief and clarify next steps

We review the findings together during a 45-minute call so you understand what to fix, what to defend, and how to explain the model to investors.

Output: debrief call and clear next steps

What founders say

Used ahead of real fundraising conversations

Founders bring Finro in when the financial model needs to withstand investor questions rather than simply look complete.

“We engaged Finro for independent financial due diligence and valuation ahead of our seed round. Lior quickly grasped our complex model and delivered a complete investor-ready package within weeks. His depth in venture finance and structured thinking made the entire process seamless.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Lior Ronen and Finro on rebuilding our WAAS financial model to make it Series A-ready. Lior quickly understood the complexity of our B2B4C ecosystem and translated it into a clear, scalable financial framework.”

  • Assessment of model logic, assumptions, consistency, and investor-facing risks
  • Review of revenue, costs, margins, headcount, cash runway, and operating drivers where included
  • Review of valuation assumptions or valuation logic where they already appear in the model
  • Written review memo with prioritized findings and recommendations
  • One 45-minute debrief call
  • Delivery within five business days after the submission is complete
Not included in the review
  • Rebuilding or editing the financial model

  • A formal company valuation or valuation report

Frequently asked questions

Before you book the review

These answers clarify model requirements, delivery timing, scope boundaries, and what happens after the written review is completed.

What type of financial model can I submit? +
The review is designed for an existing startup financial model in Excel or Google Sheets. The model should contain enough detail to understand the company’s revenue assumptions, cost structure, hiring plan, cash requirements, and operating logic. A very early or incomplete workbook can still be reviewed, but the findings may focus more heavily on missing structure and unsupported assumptions.
When does the five-business-day timeline begin? +
The timeline begins once payment, the completed intake form, and an accessible version of the financial model have all been received. If clarification, access permission, or missing information is required, the review period begins once those items are provided.
Will Finro edit or rebuild my financial model? +
No. The Investor Readiness Review identifies issues, risks, and recommended improvements but does not include editing formulas, restructuring tabs, rebuilding projections, or implementing changes. Model updates or a full rebuild can be scoped separately.
Does the review include a startup valuation? +
Not automatically. Finro may assess whether valuation assumptions or valuation logic already included in the model appear supportable, but the fixed-scope review does not include a formal valuation analysis, comparable-company study, discounted cash flow model, or valuation report.
Can I submit a revised model after the review begins? +
Minor supporting information can be provided during the review when requested. Replacing the submitted financial model after work has begun may require the timeline and scope to be adjusted because it can involve reviewing a materially different workbook.
What happens during the 45-minute debrief call? +
The call covers the main findings, the highest-priority changes, and the issues most likely to arise during investor review. It is intended to clarify the written memo and answer questions. It does not include live spreadsheet editing or implementation work.
What happens if additional modeling work is needed? +
Finro can provide a separate scope for model corrections, rebuilding, scenario analysis, valuation work, or other financial modeling support. Additional work is optional and does not begin without a separate written scope and fee agreement.
Where can I review the full service terms? +
The full terms covering submission requirements, delivery timing, client responsibilities, scope limitations, and other engagement conditions are available in the Investor Readiness Review Terms and Conditions .

See how your model holds up under investor scrutiny

Most models look complete until investors start asking hard questions. The issue is rarely formatting — it is the logic underneath, how assumptions connect, and whether the model can actually be defended.
