Key Insights

We built out a detailed financial model showing the roll out of the product at several different wind farms over time. Important aspects of the model included (a) workload, resulting in staffing changes, and (b) working capital, requiring additional investing rounds

The model was used to support the company’s valuation in discussions with the strategic investor as well as hiring plans and product pricing (as the strategic was requesting a discount on the product)

We used the model to negotiate aggressively with the strategic. Their initial “bully bid” investment offer gave way to a more realistic, reasonable offer that will support the company as it grows to serve many more wind farm operators
