034 - NARRATIVE OVER NUMBERS

Finances, narrative over numbers. So, as a finance guy, I'm obviously really interested in what the numbers have to. But actually I'm more interested in what you as a founder have to say to me about your numbers. Does your narrative, does your story match what the numbers are telling me now? A year or so ago, I looked at a pitch deck, which had a valuation of 10 million, and ultimately the founder was telling me that they would exit their business in five years for five times.
