How it works
Our Experts in Residence host regular office hours for founders, providing one-on-one and small group sessions on the topics that matter most in the early days of building. Current expert areas are:
- Finance & Accounting: from managing cash flow and runway to setting up smart financial systems.
- Fundraising & Investor Relations: how to prepare for fundraising, build your narrative, and engage investors effectively.
- Marketing & Growth: developing your brand story, reaching your first customers, and building scalable growth channels.
Why it is important
Most early-stage startups can’t afford high-quality consulting or full-time advisors at the beginning. The Expert in Residence Program bridges that gap by giving founders access to knowledge that helps them:
- Build strong systems and processes from the start.
- Avoid costly mistakes in critical early decisions.
- Accelerate learning through direct feedback from experienced professionals.
- Lay a robust foundation for sustainable growth.
Through this program, founders not only get answers, they build the skills and confidence to ask better questions as they grow.
