Know Your Numbers. Own Your Future! February FoundHER and FundHER Lunch | Los Angeles
You're building a business. But do you really know what your numbers are telling you?
Revenue is exciting. But revenue isn't profit, and profit doesn't always mean there's money in the bank.
Whether you're bootstrapping, growing an established business, or preparing to seek investment, understanding your numbers can change the decisions you make and the opportunities you're ready to pursue.
This February, we're bringing women founders and funders together for meaningful connections, real business conversations, and a special educational segment designed to help you build with greater financial confidence.
Because the more you understand your business, the more confidently you can grow it.
And you don't have to figure it all out alone.
THIS MONTH'S FOUNDER CONVERSATION
The Numbers Every Founder Must Know
You don't need to be a financial expert to run a successful business. But you do need to understand the numbers that drive it.
During our educational segment, we'll explore:
Revenue vs. profit vs. cash flow: Why they're different and why each matters.
What your business actually earns: Understanding margins, expenses, and the true cost of delivering your product or service.
The numbers worth watching: Which financial indicators can help you make smarter decisions every month.
Financial red flags: What to recognize before small problems become expensive ones.
Getting ready for growth: How understanding your financials helps when you're expanding, applying for financing, or talking with investors.
Whether you're just getting started or already generating significant revenue, this conversation is about gaining the knowledge to make more informed decisions about your business.
Come with your questions. Leave with a better understanding of what your numbers can tell you.
MORE THAN A LUNCH. REAL RELATIONSHIPS.
The education is just one part of what makes FoundHER & FundHER special.
This isn't another networking event where you exchange business cards, make small talk, and hope something happens.
It's a thoughtfully curated room of women founders, entrepreneurs, and funders who genuinely want to know what you're building and how they might help.
Maybe you're looking for a customer, a strategic partner, an introduction, financial expertise, or someone who has already navigated the challenge you're facing.
You never know who might be sitting across the table with the connection, experience, or resource you've been looking for.
WHO IS IN THE ROOM
Women building businesses at every stage, from early ideas to established companies preparing for their next level of growth.
Some are bootstrapping. Some are scaling. Some are exploring outside investment.
What brings us together is a shared belief that meaningful relationships, practical knowledge, and helping one another succeed can open doors.
No awkward networking. No sitting silently through endless presentations. Just genuine conversations, valuable education, and women who understand the entrepreneurial journey.
WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
A better understanding of the financial numbers that matter most in your business
Practical insights to help you make smarter growth decisions
Meaningful connections with women founders and funders
Opportunities for introductions, referrals, and collaboration
Fresh perspectives and resources you can put to work
A reminder that you don't have to build your business alone
GOOD TO KNOW
Your $20 ticket reserves your seat at the table. Lunch is ordered and paid for separately at the venue.
Seating is intentionally limited to create a welcoming atmosphere and meaningful conversations.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
We use name badges, and you'll actually get to know the women around you.
Founders at every stage are welcome, from the earliest idea to established and growing businesses.
A NOTE FROM LISA
One thing I've learned from working with entrepreneurs is that building a business takes more than a great idea and determination. It takes knowledge, relationships, and the ability to make good decisions along the way.
That's why I'm excited about what we're building together at FoundHER & FundHER in 2027.
Each month, we're exploring an important part of growing and scaling a business while continuing to create the meaningful connections that make this community so special.
February is about understanding your numbers, but it's also about surrounding yourself with women who can share their experiences, open doors, and help you see new possibilities.
You don't have to know everything. You just need to keep learning, building, and connecting with the right people.
I look forward to welcoming you to the table!
Warmly,
Lisa McCarthy
Founder, FoundHER & FundHER
More from Lisa McCarthy, Founder of FoundHER & FundHER:
I am thrilled you’re considering joining one of our Los Angeles–based events. This community was created with YOU in mind.
Because we focus on high-quality experiences and meaningful connections, our events are intentionally limited in size. We offer monthly founder lunches across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, intimate Food and Philosophy Dinners for women founders every other month, and educational events for women in business throughout the year.
The community is slated to expand throughout Orange County, Pasadena, and beyond, with more virtual opportunities to come.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting your business efforts!
