SummaryHey everyone. Stay tuned to the end of the interview where I’ll give you some actionable insights that I learned from my guest. These insights are also in the show notes. As always, thanks for listening.
Now on to my guest for today, Mike Lingle, a tech entrepreneur and creator of Rocket Pro Forma, a tool to help entrepreneurs get a handle on their financial picture and help draw investors.
Mike has always been interested in linking engineering and design. Early on he started pursuing architecture, but moved into learning to code to build 3-D models. He developed a presentation software for companies to use in sales.
After 15 years, his company was acquired and he took a couple of years off to pursue his interests in music - during which time he met and married his wife and started a family. He figured out that music wasn’t his future, so he returned to tech, mainly advising and teaching entrepreneurs.
Mike reflects on his first experience having a company, when he realized after his partner left that the company wasn’t financially stable. He realized he needed to better understand the numbers and now believes this skill is essential for a business and business owner to be able to make good decisions for your company.
Rocket Pro Forma is the result of his desire to help entrepreneurs with their financial decision-making and, while his customers usually come to him for a tool to help with presentations for potential investors, he hopes that it will help them in running their business, too.
Now, let’s get better together.
