CFO’s Leadership Playbook

With a recession looming, fintechs at all stages are wondering how to sustain growth (and raise capital!) at a time when many companies are feeling the pinch. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money — but what’s the best way of doing that? We speak to the experts to find out.

We’ll be discussing:

• The “right” stage to invest in key areas such as people, technology, operations
• Whether fintech founders have to sacrifice some of these investments in times like these and the investment decisions that fintech founders might be regretting
• What VCs are looking for in terms of “sensible” investments at times of crisis
• The importance of operational efficiency for investors - Is it something they look at - or is it low on the list of priorities?

Making your pitch: what do VCs want to see from companies?

2020 and 2021 were the years of SaaS: from Zoom to Slack to Hopin, we couldn't get enough of the tools that made remote work work. And neither could VCs, pouring a record 11bn EUR into SaaS startups across Europe in 2020 alone. 


But businesses only have so much cash to spend on software, so now the race is on for SaaS startups to prove to their investors that they can gain (and keep) customers.
