Ep. 27: Raising a $27M Financing Round & Managing the Ever-Changing Priorities as CFO w/ Dave Pooley

The Backbone: a journey inside finance at a startup

On this episode of The Backbone, I chat with Dave about:

1. His journey into technology with stints at Miovision, Fibernetrics and Kitchener-Waterloo based accelerator, Communitech, prior to joining Axonify.
2. Axonify and what its all about.
3. Serving the enterprise market and what that means what considerations the finance leader has to make, including the size of investment round and choosing the right investor.
4. Managing the ever-changing priorities as the CFO, and how priorities change in a smaller organization to a larger one.
5. The importance of the finance function at a technology company.

We close things off with a quickfire round:

• Your go to online resource for all things startup finance related
• Your favourite productivity hack
• Tech jargon that makes you cringe
• The best advise you’ve received
• One thing you don’t leave the office before finishing
