Raising capital – Who gives a damn about the numbers?

People ask me quite regularly if I can look over their numbers prior to them talking to potential funders. I have generally been happy to do so, but the truth is that I will have no clue.

She was right, though. When I have lived by this rule, my business has progressed. When I have ignored it, we have stagnated.
