Raphael Benhamou's Linkedin Analytics

15 years ago, I learned how valuable a financial model is, and have since applied that into helping start-ups and SMEs raise over $150M through bespoke financial modelling and strategic advisory. We’ve worked with 100+ clients, turning numbers on a screen into measurable growth. Start-ups and investors need financial guidance and clarity. Without it growth stagnates and cash evaporates. This is why clients come to us. And here are a few examples of our proven impact: - Built financial models that enabled a micro mobility start-up to raise $1.3M, expand to 5 countries in the Middle East, and acquire a Turkish competitor. - Helped a SaaS company grow its team by 60% after a $100m raise, while maintaining runway by optimizing hiring plans, reconciling financials, and embedding their budgeting process into Causal. - Modelled an investment strategy for a VC, and an investor ROI for a micro fund, helping them raise capital and later securing a €60M fund. - Helped multiple start-ups secure funding, including two fintechs ($60M and $4.5M), a lawtech ($6M), a SaaS company ($3M), a biotech (€20M collaborating over four funding rounds), a consumer goods company (£2.5M, including £1M from Crowdcube). Our approach is hands-on, tailored, and focused on results. We don't just build spreadsheets. We create decision-making frameworks that drive growth, mitigate risks, and unlock financial clarity. Here's what past clients have said: - “Raphael was a godsend in working through building out a series of business models we have used in our latest fundraising efforts. Not only were the models exceptionally well built, our investors loved them as they clearly depicted "how" our business operated and the means by which revenue and costs flowed across numerous business lines.” - Anthony Begando, CEO of ProCredEx - “The day we were introduced I was in a time crunch with some financial modeling challenges, and he was able to get up to speed with and add value towards our first project in < 48 hours.” - West Smithe, CEO of Direct - “He developed an interactive model that provided granular visibility into all aspects of the business, including revenues, costs, and cash flow. Raphael's ability to model and identify the break-even point enabled me to optimize our marketing budget and create a roadmap to profitability. He also built logic into the model, which enabled simple scenario analysis, making decision-making easier.” - Jelte Liebrand, Founder of Savvy Navvy Interested in working together?
