Going Deep @ Chapter One

Writing every week is hard, especially when you start a new full-time gig! After writing for 10 straight weeks this summer / fall and building a foundation for @TheFundCFO newsletter, I took some time off to dive in full-time @chapterone. It’s been busy and exciting transitioning from a mile wide to a mile deep!

To learn more about the move, you can check out the thread I shared via Twitter.

Good news! @Chapterone values building in public across functions, including finance and investing, where I’m spending a lot of time. We are a small team with each of us having a hand in all the functions that go into building the firm.

The Modern Venture Capital CFO

While I haven’t been writing much, I’ve been reading a lot! I’ll be sharing highlights from some insightful articles in the coming weeks and how they relate to the day-to-day execution as a Venture Capital CFO.

One post I really appreciated (and that was forwarded to me a lot :)) was “The Modern Venture Capital CFO” by Quaestor, an automated financial data platform firm that has raised money from 8VC, Spark, Abstract, GFC, Fathom, and Riot.

I won’t rewrite the post here but please read in full if you’re interested! I’ve outlined the sections below and shared the pyramid illustration of the key VC CFO functions - more discussion to come!

  1. VC is growing up

  2. CFOs: a guiding force for VCs

  3. Data transparency, a new challenge and new opportunity for VC CFOs

  4. Incremental changes that drive compounding impact

That’s all for today folks! Thanks for your support and spreading the word! Share this on Twitter or LinkedIn to help grow “the crew!”
