Get $500 bucks off 🤑 + $150K to 3 black-owned female founders

Filtering the internet's smartest opportunities you didn't know you needed (yet)...

Sing the Happy Birthday (finance) song… 🎂

Not clear on what you should be investing in growth? Or what you should pay yourself (and when)? No clue on what your cash flow is? Or where to start on a financial model that will impress investors?

If you’re looking to raise in the next 12 months, this is for you 💸

When I was just starting FSC I had no freaking clue how to build a financial model. Or what a P&L was. I reeeeeally didn’t understand my cash flow or where we should be doubling down on things like our marketing budget, or how to pay myself.

Bc the reality is I’ve never been the best when it comes to numbers, it’s not my superpower.. it took me years (and a lot of 1-1 hand holding during Techstars) to get clear on my numbers and my financial narrative.

and if you want to be taken seriously in a fundraise, you gotta know your numbers the same way you know the happy birthday song.

Inside out, back to front, clear as day, sung-in-your-sleep level. Lol!

So having someone who’s superpower is quite literally finances helping you map your finances & your fundraise can quite literally be the difference between getting a cheque and getting a hard no.

Candice Tait is to go-to when it comes to helping female founders with their finances. she’s done some impressive stuff in the last 20+ years like:

  • raised over $2B for startups globally

  • led a £60m acquisition for a company (pre-rev!)

  • led a £140m acquisition for a tech startup (14x rev)

  • led the IPO for Lyft

And now she’s hosting a very small in-person bootcamp designed for female founders raising this year where you’ll come out with:

  • your financial assets (P&L, financial model, the narrative)

  • where to invest in growth, how much to pay yourself & what your cash flow is

  • a strategy to sell investors on your numbers (aka what return $$ you’re gonna bring them)

You’ll be able to sing the numbers just as clear as the happy birthday song!

You can ✨ apply for bootcamp here ✨ and book a free discovery call with Candice to see if it’s a good fit

and you can name drop us to get $500 bucks off

*the bootcamp is limited to 10 women total
