I speak to early-stage tech founders everyday and almost everyone struggles with financials. This is often related to a lack of understanding in - cost structure - sales pipeline - price structure - business model The business acumen is often uncharted territory to a techie - not so fun compared to tech innovation! 🤯 But a #startup is a business, not a project or a hobby. You have multiple strategic decisions to make and you can easily get lost if you don't focus on the right things and take action. On 7 June 16.00 CEST I'm hosting the first 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 webinar. Together with my Co-host Mira Maralova, we will take you step by step to build a financial model and establish your strategic focus from day 1.

It is such an honor to bookend my time at Lightspeed with the news that the 2024 Data-Driven VC Landscape report named me a top 20 thought leader and, more importantly, recognized Lightspeed as a top 20 data-driven VC firm for the second year in a row. I have been fortunate to be involved in building the data teams from the ground up at two of the top 20 data-driven firms, and it's gratifying to see former colleagues like Yuriy Groysman, Ilya Kirnos, and Chris Farmer at SignalFire also featured prominently. Special thanks to Dr. Andre Retterath for putting the report together! You can find the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gbBa2hdj The data-driven VC ecosystem has grown tremendously from just a handful of people a decade ago. While much progress has been made in leveraging data for sourcing, due diligence, portfolio support, and access, there is still much work to be done. I'm excited to see how this space continues to evolve. On a personal note, after over five and a half years at Lightspeed, I am stepping away from my role. I'm incredibly grateful to Lightspeed, especially Ravi Mhatre, Christopher Schaepe, Peter Nieh, Barry Eggers, Alex Taussig, Bradley Twohig, and Jeremy Liew for taking a chance on me years ago. It was a pleasure to work among world-class investors and operators across the globe to help founders build enduring companies. It filled me with a sense of wonder when everything aligned – when data pointed to a company's growth trajectory, and renowned Midas list investors pursued those founders. My thanks to the Lightspeed data team (Tin Kyaw, Eric Wayman, Len Frenkel, Radhika M.) and Carmen Buenrostro for making each day enjoyable, even as we navigated a pandemic while trying to bring data to venture capital. Over the next few months, I'll be spending time with family, traveling, and reconnecting with friends. I'm currently fascinated by using data-driven strategies for secondary investing and cohort-based customer acquisition financing. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss data and venture further. More to come!

Stop using arbitrary metrics to determine business success. Too many times, I see startups targeting a number rather than an outcome. Let's revisit what we're trying to achieve and create metrics to match it. Your KPIs should tell you where your business needs extra time. We use KPIs at Guidepost and sometimes they are great and other times they get thrown out. Check out our process in our blog post in the comments! #blogpost #financialanalysis #kpis #metrics #fpanda #fractionalcfo
