EmergeOne provides strategic, fractional CFO services to venture-backed tech startups and scaleups across the UK and Europe - from Seed to Series B and beyond.

We help founders manage capital efficiently, extend runway, improve financial visibility, and build investor-ready reporting - all without the overhead of a full-time CFO.

Our team has supported some of the UK’s fastest growing startups, backed by leading VCs including Hoxton Ventures, Stride, Playfair, Octopus, Founders Factory, and Outlier Ventures.

Chief Financial Officer

Inovus Medical

As Fractional CFO and Non-Executive Director for Inovus, I worked directly with the VC owners to create value, securing £5M venture debt, launching international offices and driving growth of the SaaS business to multimillion-pound revenues.

Fractional CFO and NED

Exagen Group

I provided strategic guidance on business model transformation, M&A and international expansion to increase company valuation. I reviewed portfolios and asset disposal strategies to maximise financial performance.

Consulting CFO

Clean Energy Capital ('CEC')

I designed financial strategies to scale the business over a five-year period, including a £20M equity plan, and advised on the governance and systems required to transition to a new business model.

Interim CFO

Lisarb Energy

As CFO of this renewable energy start-up, I played a key role in scaling the company’s solar energy operations, managing £60M in equity/debt financing, and contributing to the development of a 110MW solar park in Brazil. In addition, I implemented risk management and governance frameworks to support strategic M&A activities.

Chief Finance Officer

Blue Sky Natural Resources Limited

I joined this early-stage biotech start-up, actively involved in capital raising and investor relations, and spearheading a growth strategy that increased valuation by 7x to €70M and latterly achieved a €180M exit.

CEO and Co-Founder

I am an experienced Board Director, CFO, and Non-Executive Director with an extensive international track record of driving business growth and performance, enhancing board effectiveness, and improving governance and risk management across industries, including renewable energy, utilities, medtech / SaaS, and the circular economy.

This includes significant experience working with boards, PE / VC, and investors to scale businesses, boosting valuation and delivering long-term value (spanning PLCs, SMEs, and start-ups). My expertise lies in creating vertical supply chain solutions, implementing IP strategies, capital raising (equity and debt), and M&A, whilst strengthening governance and navigating regulatory landscapes for optimal operational resilience. My commitment to transparency, accountability, and risk management has been instrumental in fostering stakeholder trust and driving long-term sustainable growth.

Matteo Turi

Most companies are not undervalued.

They are under-managed.

Founders often tell me:

“We deserve a higher valuation.”

But valuation is not what you deserve.

It’s what you prove.

The valuation trap hits when:
- pricing is wrong
- IP is ignored
- growth is unstructured
- no global pathway exists
- investors can’t see the future
- governance is weak

Without these, the market punishes you mercilessly:
⚠️ You raise less.
⚠️ You dilute more.
⚠️ Investors lose interest.
⚠️ Competitors outpace you.

A CFO rebuilds the valuation engine of the company.

If your valuation has stalled, the business isn’t stuck.

The strategy is.

About me:

I’m Matteo Turi — CFO, Board Director and creator of the High Valuation Triangle, a system designed to level up businesses with investors.

For nearly 30 years I’ve helped companies across 12+ countries fix cashflow, scale internationally, design valuation strategy and raise capital (over $500M funded).

22,000 founders read my weekly newsletter where I share real CFO stories, case studies, and valuation frameworks grounded in lived experience — not theory.

I’m currently writing Fail. Pivot. Scale., a book about what really separates the companies that grow from the ones that break.

Matteo Turi FCCA

Most companies think they understand their numbers.

Almost none do.

Every week I meet founders who can tell me their revenue…

but cannot tell me:

- true cash runway
- unit economics
- funding gap
- margin integrity
- investor-grade KPIs
- financial risk exposure

Without this intelligence, the business is flying blind.

Here’s the brutal truth:

Companies don’t die because they lose customers.

They die because they don’t see danger until it has already won.

A CFO doesn’t give you spreadsheets.

We give you sight.

If you make decisions today without fully understanding your numbers, you’re gambling the entire company.

And markets are not kind to blindfolded founders.

If everything goes through you, the company is already broken.

Most founders don’t realise they became the bottleneck until:

deadlines slip
decisions slow
team hesitates
execution collapses
growth plateaus

AI has accelerated the exposure.

Agentic systems cannot operate around unclear authority.

The consequences for founder-centric companies are brutal:

❌ Valuation discounts of 30–50%
❌ Investor reluctance (“business depends on you”)
❌ Zero scalability
❌ Team burnout
❌ Founder burnout
❌ Acquisition deals collapsing

The role of a CFO is to build a company that functions without you.

If everything still flows through the founder, nothing will scale.

Banks don’t reject companies.
They reject risk they cannot quantify.

When a company approaches a bank without CFO-level preparation:
❌ DSCR fails
❌ Cash flow forecasts fall apart
❌ Covenants break
❌ Collateral isn’t structured
❌ No financial controls exist
❌ Relationship deteriorates

The consequences are severe:
⚠️ Higher interest
⚠️ Worse terms
⚠️ Declined loans
⚠️ Frozen credit lines
⚠️ Emergency capital raises

A CFO doesn’t just prepare the numbers.

We prepare the story lenders want to believe.

If you’re negotiating with a bank alone, understand this:

They can see the weaknesses you’re trying to hide.
