This session is a part of the Tech Growth Track, and is exclusively for tech founders inside of The 10th House.

Raising capital is about more than just your pitch deck—it’s about proving that your company is financially sound, operationally ready, and set up for long-term success. In this session, Melanie Goldey, CEO of Tally Health and seasoned CFO/COO, will break down what it takes to be truly fundraising-ready as an early-stage tech founder.

Melanie has helped companies raise more than $250 million and guided three major liquidity events, including the IPO of Everyday Health and the acquisitions of Refinery29 and TMRW Life Sciences. She brings the rare perspective of a financial operator who also understands the people and operational levers investors look for when evaluating whether a company is venture-backable.

This session will help you answer questions like:
  • How do I build a financial forecast for my investor deck?
  • Which numbers really matter to investors at the seed and Series A stages?
  • How do I manage limited cash while still showing a path to growth?
  • Beyond the numbers, what operational and team elements signal to investors that I’m ready for scale?
This conversation will give you tactical insights into how to align your financial model, team, and operations for fundraising success. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what investors expect, how to position your company for long-term growth, and how to navigate the fundraising process with confidence.

More About Melanie: Melanie Goldey is an accomplished executive, board member, and investor with deep expertise at the intersection of consumer, healthcare, and technology. She currently serves as CEO of Tally Health, a trailblazing consumer biotech company redefining the way we age by making longevity and healthspan more accessible through science-backed diagnostics and supplements.

Over the course of her career, she has led capital raises totaling more than $250 million across equity, convertible notes, and debt, partnering with leading venture capital, private equity, and strategic investors. 

She played a key role in three major liquidity events: the $100 million IPO of Everyday Health, and the acquisitions of Everyday Health (by Ziff Davis) and Refinery29 (by Vice Media) — each valued at approximately half a billion dollars.

Melanie began her career as a technology and media investment banker at J.P. Morgan in San Francisco and New York.

She currently serves on the Board of Directors at Tally Health and Sollis Health, and is a member of the Fast Company Impact Council and The WIE Suite. She is also an angel investor and advisor to multiple startups focused on the future of consumer health, wellness, and longevity.
