Hi SF IRL! There's a ton of vibrance and energy coming back into the city and at SF IRL, we are excited to be a part of it. Excited to come with you all with some great events for Issue #93 and happy Fourth of July week!

If you didn’t know, I’m excited to announce the launch of inreallife.tech. SF IRL is now part of the inreallife.tech family & we’re expanding with LA IRL & NYC IRL to showcase the top tech, startup and venture events in those cities as well and you can subscribe in the link above.

I'm Jonathan, the creator of SF IRL. I've been a Bay Area resident all my life and moved into San Francisco about 3 years ago. My full-time job is at Brex as an XIR where I meet founders and VCs while trying to create a community in the city. My vision for SF IRL is simple. Showcase the best tech + startup events in SF and to connect all of our builders and investors together. We are a growing community having over 7000+ subscribers. As we keep growing, if you enjoy reading these, please share this with your friends so we can hit 8,000 readers. As always, SF IRL is one of my many side projects.

What: Financial modeling for your startup may feel elusive at best and overwhelming at worst. Online resources are confusing, hard to follow, or exist behind a paywall. Financial modeling feels like it's reserved only for the likes in consulting or high flying finance - investment bankers, private equity, or VC. It's unclear what investors are looking for when evaluating the financial projections of a startup. Founders don't know where to start analyzing the financials of their current business model or their potential business idea.
