What Our Students Say
The course was one of the best I have seen in terms of explanation and delivering the content. The best part of the course is explaining by doing things on the video and asking the receiver of the content to do as well so that he/she finds it engaging.
It was amazing to dig deeply in how to financially build financial model for such type of common business nowadays.
Dear CFI, I noticed some mistakes/inconsistency during the course videos. FYI: Capital assets -depretiation and closing Balance: P&E depretiation calculation (video 7:08) the formula refers to F$94 instead of F$95. => the formula is correct in the downloadable completed excel. We start the excel number cranching with Equity Raised figure 5 M$, however at the end of the course (Valuation) it increases to 8 mM$ (or maybe I missed something?) There are some spelling mistakes also. Anyway I enjoyed it
I really enjoyed every video and quiz of the course, I have gained a lot of knowledge and confidence to build a robust financial model for E-commerce and startup business. Thank you.
