Really excited to announce yet another project we're shipping with our team here at Andreessen Horowitz - the new CFO community we launched yesterday (and other personas are also in the works).
Why another one? And what's our goal?
I've been in many before I stepped into a partner role here at the firm. They're all different, with different benefits but also incentives for those who run it. The best one remain private, exclusive, small, personal, in person, and where you build real relationships that become not just your network, but actually your support group and often, friends.
The CFO role is very lonely, and most times you're doing things you've never done before. It takes many hours to build that trust with your peers, but once you do, the journey gets easier because you're no longer alone. Someone else has navigated a diffucult peer relationship at this stage before and know how to push back on Sales (it's always sales, right?). Another person has a lot more experience navigating board dynamics or founder personalities. And sometimes you need the advice that's even more personal, to do with your family or your next career step.
So we're aiming to build that, similar to CEO / YPO community that have been key to surviving the journey as a founder. Let's do the same for the finance leadership.
Please apply using the link below, and also please tag your finance leader if you're a founder or a friend of one. And I always appreciate a reshare!
