Mani Rastogi

I build financial models, valuations, and investor-ready materials for founders and teams preparing for fundraising, acquisitions, or strategic decisions.

Most capital raises don’t fail because of a weak idea. They fail because the numbers don’t stand up to investor scrutiny, the model isn’t built for external communication, or the story isn’t financially coherent. My work fixes that.

I build fully integrated 3-statement financial models that are clean, dynamic, and scenario-driven. Every model is structured with clear assumptions, transparent logic, and built to handle investor-level questioning. This includes forecasting, sensitivity analysis, and cash flow planning.

For SaaS and subscription businesses, I build specialized models covering ARR, MRR, churn, cohort analysis, CAC, LTV, burn, and runway, designed specifically for investor conversations.

On valuation, I work across DCF, comparable companies, and precedent transactions for startups and growth-stage companies, whether it’s a seed round, Series A, or acquisition. The focus is always on defensible, assumption-driven analysis.

I also build financial pitch decks and investor presentation sections, including projections, unit economics, and use of funds, ensuring the numbers and narrative align.

For transaction-focused work, I support M&A models, LBOs, investment analysis, and due diligence preparation.

Clients consistently highlight clean structure, institutional-quality formatting, and models that hold up under pressure.

If you're raising capital, evaluating an acquisition, or need clarity for a high-stakes decision, let's connect.
