CEO @ Founderpath (I invest in companies)

Notice anything about this Founderpath engineering team photo?

Look closely:

Many of our eningeers are ex founders. 

They understand the value of saving founders time. 

I push them: Underwrite this deal.

They embrace it and always spot something new we can optimize. 

It's why I love our tuesday morning sessions 🚀 

Challenge is always the same:
How do we get accurate data from Founders?
How do we use that data to wire them capital as fast as possible?

PS: Names removed on purpose. Engineers hate being bombarded with copy/paste messages from linkedin recruiters ;)

Love you dudes!

Stephanie is super impressive. 

Her "Tiny Grocer" did $3.5m last year:

Its anything but Tiny.

She understands something fundamental:

Retail isn't about grabbing bread and soup. 

In a world where we all get upset reading X.....

She knows every brick and mortar needs to create an experience.

She does $1.6m at her onsite restaurant

Yes: Inside the grocery store. 

She's way ahead of everyone else. 

POwered by her 25 years at whole foods

... and her early experiments at the Deli there.

I offered her $500,000 on the spot.

The SaaS CFO | The #1 source for SaaS finance education. Video lessons, content, templates, and communities to accelerate your SaaS and career.

WHAT I DO:  I help SaaS companies via fractional SaaS CFO services, coaching, and courses in SaaS metrics and finance.  I help companies achieve financial improvement and transparency via a SaaS finance framework that links operations to finance.

WHO I HELP:  I help SaaS founders, finance/accounting, and investors.

WHY IT WORKS:  Translating the operational story into consumable numbers is the key to driving corporate performance and understanding the economics of SaaS businesses.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: From debits and credits to financial forecasting to M&A, my experience has not just been silo’ed in the accounting or finance track, but both sides of the desk.  My operations background at several airlines has improved my ability to translate operational performance into improved financial understanding and foresight. My on-the-job experience as a SaaS CFO has allowed me to help thousands of SaaS founders and finance teams.
