SUMMARY:Show Me the Model\, Not the Hype by Raphael Fiorini
DESCRIPTION:Brilliant ideas die every day because their creators can’t prove they are viable. A financial digital twin turns napkin sketches into living models that reveal if your concept can survive\, scale and thrive. Drawing on over 35 years of taking complex\, ambiguous business ideas and concepts to market\, I’ll show you why it is important to make every assumption visible\, every scenario testable and every decision defensible\, taking that ‘cool concept” to either investor-funded or board-approved reality \n \n  \nWHY ATTEND\nNumbers not narratives\, decide who gets funded and who folds. You’ll see how a financial digital twin validates viability before you quit your day job\, how real-time stress-testing answers investors’ toughest questions on the spot\, and how modelling discipline replaces wishful thinking with quantified confidence.\n\nWHAT WILL YOU WALK AWAY WITH\nAn understanding on how a good Financial Digital Twin of your idea or business can lead to Faster Go/No-Go Calls\, compressing months of debate into an interactive model everyone can question objectively\, allowing you to walk into any room armed with defendable numbers\, not slide-ware.\n \nHOW WILL YOU FEEL AFTER (the 1 %-er)\nExpect to be more confident and calm under fire because any “what-if?” questions can be modelled and future shocks become rehearsed scenarios\, not surprises.\n \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nIdea-stage and pre-seed founders who need to know whether their concept can pay its own way\, corporates and scale-ups testing new products or markets\, and investors or advisors who want to cut through hype and see defendable numbers before writing cheques will all gain concrete\, actionable insights from this session. \nABOUT YOUR SPEAKER  —  RAPHAEL FIORINI \nRaphael is an ideator-turned-activator who has spent three decades translating first-of-their-kind technologies into commercial results. From helping commercialise the internet in Australia in the 1990s\, writing the broadband strategy for a European country\, helped develop the original business case for NBN\, architecting Telstra’s national Digital Twin business\, to co-founding a number of AI startups\, he has repeatedly proven that bold ideas only matter when the numbers stack up. \nAs Chief Commercial Officer\, he grew IoT-lighting scale-up Vivid Technology seven-fold in three years\, and earlier drove a 64 percent uplift in Hills Holdings’ share price by steering its pivot from heavy manufacturing to next-gen tech solutions. A background in Finance and Economics\, Raphael pairs deep analytical rigour with front-line go-to-market experience—skills he now uses to coach founders\, advise scale-ups and mentor Masters students on commercialising emerging technology. Whether raising capital\, stress-testing strategy\, or building a live financial digital twin\, he is known for stripping out hype\, exposing value drivers and turning vision into bankable growth.
