Financial Modeling – Waterfall Analysis and Round Modeling

A financial model is used to forecast a company’s future financial performance by using the company’s historical data and assumptions of the future. This tool is used for making decisions and performing financial analysis. There are two financial models that Eqvista uses and is known for: waterfall analysis and round modeling.

What is a waterfall analysis?

Waterfall analysis is a method that investors and shareholders can use to develop financial models of how much each shareholder will get when the firm is sold. These cap table models go through a series of computations to allow customers to see potential exit scenarios that they would otherwise be unable to undertake on their own.

Uses and benefits of a waterfall analysis

Founders and investors benefit from using a waterfall analysis as this helps them to understand their payouts of the total value of the company upon exit. It is a clear structure with a defined set of steps to follow, allowing for more accuracy in the analysis.

What is round modeling?

Round modeling is a financial method that allows investors and management to see how the company’s cap table is diluted. By using this financial model, companies can make critical decisions on the amount and timing of new investments coming into the company from investors.

Uses and benefits of round modeling

Using a round modeling financial analysis can help you determine the best time and amount for new investments to come into the company. This is important for any startup to grow their company, and also manage their cap table and the effects of share dilution for existing shareholders.
