The difference between startups that scale successfully and those that hit bottlenecks often comes down to one overlooked factor: having the right financial systems in place before you need them. This practical workshop demonstrates why waiting until you're drowning in receipts, struggling with runway calculations, or preparing for due diligence is already too late.
This session addresses the financial infrastructure challenges that hardware startups face as they grow from prototype to production. You'll learn how to build a strong foundation with financial processes that adapt as your team expands and revenue scales, preventing the chaos that typically accompanies rapid growth.The workshop explores four critical areas every founder must address: scaling with confidence by implementing systems that prevent bottlenecks, building financial foundations that grow with your company, automating spend management so your team can focus on building rather than bookkeeping, and maintaining audit-ready records that accelerate fundraising and partnerships.
