""Like most entrepreneurs, I know that sound financials and business documentation are a cornerstone of success. But day-to-day imperatives make it all too easy to set the accounts, forecasts and paperwork aside for another day - especially when faced with connecting the dots between Bookkeeper, CPA, business consultant and lawyers. So it has been a real pleasure working with Anthony Nassar of Venture Momentum, one of those rare consultants who combines a keen eye for detail and a firm grasp of the big picture. In just eight weeks he has helped get our books in great shape, built a comprehensive forecasting model, and caught us up on important business paperwork. With Anthony's continued involvement I can focus on growing the business, confident these business fundamentals will be properly managed. Thanks Anthony!"

"I met Anthony Nassar following his presentation on "Financial Modeling for Startups" at the University of California Haas School of Business.  I've worked with startups as an attorney for Reed Smith in the firm's Venture Capital and Technology Practice Group, as an advisory board member, and venture capitalist for almost a decade.  Anthony's work product is unequalled.  It was after I saw his presentation that I decided that I had to work with him in my own venture and that any startup I was associated with should consult him for their financial modeling work.

My opinion of Anthony's work is shared.  Following a presentation of my financial model to a partner at a major VC firm in San Francisco, the partner observed that it was the most well produced financial model he had ever seen.

Anthony is knowledgeable and thoughtful; a pleasure to work with.  His foresight is exemplary.  He also has the disposition and patience to work with the ever-changing variables involved in early stage technology ventures.  I highly recommend him."

 "I worked with Anthony to build a financial model for Telonu and in the process, he actually helped make the business plan even stronger! Right from our first meeting at Peets in Berkeley, I was impressed with Anthony’s deep knowledge of the start-up process and his insights on what many entrepreneurs do well and don’t do well while building business and financial models.

Anthony’s firm, Venture Momentum, has a great financial package called the VMI Financial Roadmap, where he has already thought through and linked hundreds of financial variables on revenues and expenses to generate income, cash flow and balance sheet items. For Telonu, which includes both B2C and B2B Revenue streams, we customized the software. I am very impressed as to how robust and yet how flexible the model is. Anthony’s priceless guidance was to build a model which we will use to run the business rather than just for funding. The model has also become a great forecasting, management and tracking tool for us.

Anthony gets really passionate about each project and will keep you honest with your numbers. Not to mention that he knows all the right benchmarks which investors look for based on his numerous start-up consulting projects. I would strongly recommend Anthony to start-ups and existing businesses alike."

"The VMI Financial Roadmap platform developed by Anthony demands that you build a bottom-up revenue model. It politely forces you to do your due diligence, which places you in the best position possible to both fund and build a successful company. I especially like the feature that when we shift one data point, all others shift in concert. This saves time, and more importantly it combats entry errors that could prove costly. Our financial model is believable, and by getting it right from the start, I am now able to make quick adjustments for our management team and funding partners."

"Anthony Nassar provides both strategic and detailed views of an effective financial plan, and describes multiple ways of approaching the financial planning process, depending on the needs of the company. In addition, he provides a set of considerations when planning to expose a financial plan to prospective investors... I have already used Anthony's model to develop a comprehensive financial plan."

"I was in the process of raising an angel round of funding and needed someone who could take a hands on approach to preparing our financial statements and projections.  Anthony Nassar of Venture Momentum dived in immediately. He didn't hesitate to work late into the night and on weekends to meet a deadline of providing financial information to prospective investors.  I am extremely impressed by his professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to meeting deadlines.

I don't think I could have closed our angel round without Anthony and he has continued to be an invaluable resource to Telling Stories."
