MUST RSVP HERE TO ATTEND

Behind every founder who raises successfully is a financial model that actually holds up under investor scrutiny. In this session, Stephany Kirkpatrick will help you build the financial systems and fundraising story that give investors confidence and give you clarity.

​Drawing from her experience building Orum's financial infrastructure from the ground up, raising $82.2M in a heavily regulated space, and leading the company through its acquisition by Stripe, Stephany will guide you through how to:

  • ​Build a financial forecast investors actually trust
  • ​Identify the metrics that matter most at seed and Series A
  • ​Manage limited cash while showing a credible path to growth
  • ​Know exactly what belongs in your data room before you start raising

​After this session, you'll leave with a Fundraising Readiness Checklist and a founder-friendly financial model template you can adapt to your business.
