I stumbled into Strategic Finance from TMT banking. Had no idea what it was.
Almost a decade later, having built it at a public fintech and a PE-backed company, I have a clear view of the value most founders are leaving on the table🧵

One thing founders consistently underestimate: fundraising.
Nobody should understand your capital requirements better than Strategic Finance. When to raise, how much, how to structure the process.
If your finance lead can't drive that conversation, you're walking into it blind.

Going to keep sharing what I've seen work and what hasn't across public and PE-backed environments.
If you're building a scaling company and thinking about how finance should actually function, stick around.

Find so many people ask, "what can I do to help", VC Twitter jokes aside.
Found best strategy is to put all that aside & choose 1 person per month that you will go above & beyond for.
Then you really move the needle, build a true relationship and they always remember. ✌️

There are many ways you can invest in entrepreneurs.
Capital is just one. Here are others:
Intros. Expertise. Feedback. Revenue. Recruiting.
Don't let a lack of capital stop you from helping a founder bring their vision to life.
Remember, it takes a village to raise a startup.
