Financial models are always wrong; but it forces the business model designer to identify key variables, make and verify important assumptions, test for different scenarios and by that understand the complexities of the business model and how different attributes and factors relate to each other. It's an important iterative process to design the business model, do the financial modelling, and improve the business model based on the results.

In my view the first meeting should have projections at a high-level pasted from Excel into PowerPoint. If the investor wants to engage more deeply and the feeling is mutual you can then send a spreadsheet.

Interesting post. At what point does a VC/Angel expect to see the financial plan and in what detail? And at what point should an enterpreneur show this to them, and in what detail?

eg do you send through the excel, or just take output from the model and put it into the powerpoint? And if you do send through the excel, do you do this with the first send-through of the powerpoint, (eg pre-meeting) or a only after the investor has taken some interest/after a first meeting?
