Callum spent six years building three different startups - two that went nowhere and one that eventually got acquired. These days he helps early-stage founders avoid the mistakes he made along the way.
He's particularly interested in helping technical founders understand the business side without losing their minds. His approach is practical rather than theoretical, which means you'll walk away with things you can actually apply to your business tomorrow.
Here's how the financial modeling workshop flows. We keep things moving but leave room for questions when they come up naturally.
We start with the core financial statements every founder needs to understand. Income statements, cash flow projections, and balance sheets - demystified without the accounting jargon.
Now we actually build one together. Bring your laptop and follow along as we construct a three-year financial model that you can adapt for your own business.
What happens when revenue drops? When you need to hire faster? We'll run different scenarios through the model to show you how to use it for decision-making rather than just fundraising.
Open discussion about your specific situations. Plus we'll share templates and resources you can take with you, including the exact model we built during the session.
All our events happen at our space in Jamisontown. It's not fancy, but it's comfortable and has everything you need - good wifi, decent coffee, and whiteboards on every wall.
The space works well for both workshops and networking sessions. There's a main room for presentations and a smaller breakout area for conversations. Parking is straightforward and there are several cafes nearby if you want to grab dinner before an evening session.
Ground floor location with ample parking and close to public transport routes through western Sydney.
Tables arranged for collaboration, power outlets everywhere, and screens for presentations or screen sharing.
Climate controlled space with proper lighting and seating that doesn't make your back hurt after two hours.
Open layout that makes it easy to move around and talk to other founders during breaks and after sessions.
Events fill up quickly since we keep groups small enough for actual conversation. If something looks useful, grab a spot now. You can always reach out if you have questions about whether an event is right for where you're at with your business.
