Overview
You've found product-market fit. Now comes the part nobody warns you about: How do you keep the finances tight while you scale?
Join an intimate room of founders and invited guests for a closed-door sharing.
Join us for an intimate, closed-door lunch with a small room of founders and three guests who've seen growth-stage finance from every angle:
Belle Lim - Co-Head, APAC, Worldwide Private Capital, Microsoft
Dennis Le, Investment Director, Openspace Capital
Sahana Vendar Kon, Regional Startups Lead, APAC, Carta
Expect conversations over lunch to be around cap-table discipline and dilution, the metrics investors actually underwrite at Series A/B, when to extend runway vs. raise, and how to access capital without burning it.
Please note that conversations will be held under Chatham House Rule, so everyone in the room will be able to share candidly.
This is for you if: you're a seed-stage founder doing US$100K+ ARR, or raising/scaling through Series A–B.
Seats are limited and curated to keep the room small and the conversation relevant. Apply below and tell us the one finance question you're wrestling with and we'll build the discussion around what you bring.
