"Tropos AR worked with Finro at the start of the Web3 boom. They were one of the very few companies that had a correct view of the leap in technology, which is now slowly unfolding. Technology always gets overvalued in the short-term, and undervalued in the long term. And Finro helped us navigate that future like few others can."

"One of the solutions that consistently guides me is Lior and Finro. Without his guidance, the success we achieved in evaluating and structuring our investment decisions would have been far more difficult."

"I asked Lior to write a due diligence report for an investment my fund was considering. He demonstrated expert financial analysis capability and an impressive understanding of early stage venture finance. I was impressed and very pleased with how much Lior was able to glean in a short amount of time about the operations and future strategy of the company from nothing more than its financial statements, pitch deck, and pro formas. Lior independently sought data from multiple sources to make his arguments, and his methods were extremely well-considered and thoroughly implemented."

"Lior has led multiple DealValue projects while leading DealValue's internal back-office as CFO and I couldn't be happier with the results. Lior has been phenomenal to work with and works tirelessly for our clients and consultants alike. He gets finance and FinTech more than any financial engineer I've worked with. Lior also has the spot-on ability to read and understand complex due diligence risks and opportunities — a skill that proved to be an asset across multiple deals and has added real and tangible value."

"Lior consistently delivers analysis with both depth and precision. His ability to identify sector shifts and translate complex datasets into actionable valuation insights has been instrumental in refining our investment strategy, especially around pre-revenue companies. Beyond the analysis itself, he is highly responsive, pragmatic, and easy to work with across time zones."

"I had the opportunity to work with Lior on a recent valuation project, and I highly recommend him for his expertise, professionalism, and clarity of thinking. Lior brings a rare combination of analytical rigor and practical business insight. His approach to financial modeling is not only technically sound but also highly structured and defensible — something that is critical when valuations are being scrutinized by stakeholders. What stood out most was his ability to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions appropriately, and deliver a final product that we could confidently stand behind. If you are looking for someone who can deliver high-quality, defensible financial models and valuations, Lior is an outstanding choice."

Founders who worked with Finro to build, rebuild, or upgrade their financial models for fundraising, operational planning, and investor discussions.
"We had the pleasure of working with Lior Ronen and his company Finro on rebuilding our WAAS financial model to make it Series A–ready. Lior was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and responsive from day one. He quickly understood the complexity of the WAAS ecosystem — our B2B4C rental model combining hardware, software, and service components — and translated it into a clear, scalable financial framework. The result is a robust, investor-proof model that truly reflects how our business operates and grows."

He has always been extremely precise and shows a clear talent for taking our vision and translating into a tangible outlook. Further, his response time and overall service has been impeccable.

"Lior is a machine. He took our substantial but unwieldy financial model and turned it into a dynamic tool we can adjust and refine without constant manual input. It amends the projected balance sheet and the KPIs and valuation as we accumulate and refine the data. He did it all in a very reasonable timeframe and is quick to respond to changes and additions. His experience and advice also contributed to a great ongoing result."

I have absolute confidence if you use him for consultant services in the financial space you will not be disappointed."
