Mentoring on finance, investing, and business models

Money decisions — in a business or your own life — are mostly framing problems. What are the unit economics really saying? What is this opportunity worth compared to the next-best use of your time and capital? This session helps you build the frame, so the numbers start answering questions instead of raising them.

Sound familiar?

  • Your product sells but you can't tell whether the business model works
  • Pricing feels like guessing, and every guess feels too high and too low at once
  • You want to think like an investor about your own time and money, but don't know where to start
  • Financial concepts you half-know (margins, runway, dilution, compounding) are quietly driving big decisions

What a session works on

  • Stress-testing your business model: where the money actually comes from and what breaks it
  • Pricing logic you can defend — to customers and to yourself
  • Unit economics and runway math in plain language, applied to your numbers
  • A personal investment framing: risk, horizon, and opportunity cost for your situation

What a session gives you

I came into the session with too many options and no clear sense of what to prioritize. Lars helped me structure the situation, compare the alternatives realistically, and identify the next step that made the most sense. I left with a clear plan I could start acting on immediately.

Lars quickly understood how my studies, business idea, and longer-term goals were connected. He asked the right questions, challenged some of my assumptions, and helped me turn a vague idea into a practical next experiment. The session gave me both clarity and momentum.
