We focus on three key force multipliers of finance:

Team
From your first finance hire to your eventual CFO, and everything in between: controller, FP&A, operations, payroll, tax, treasury, and more. We have built these teams as operators at Palantir and helped portfolio founders to do the same at their companies.

Operations
From building your first operating models to improving predictability prior to a growth round or IPO. We help finance teams improve workflows, systems, data, and dashboards, the ingredients necessary to support growth at scale.

Capital
Plan and execute your fundraise. The process starts months before the capital raise with messaging, preparation, models, decks, and data rooms. Helping to select your lead and finalize deal terms follows. We have done this from Seed rounds all the way to Series K and public listing.
Frameworks

Our frameworks equip founders and CFOs with vital insights. We share this knowledge to bolster operational scaling and fundraising readiness, positioning our network for success.
