When Cash Flow Breaks (the cradle will fall!)

​Cash flow problems rarely start when a company hires a CFO: they start much earlier, when systems, processes and visibility don’t scale with growth.

​In this CFO Series conversation, Duncan Barrigan, founder & CEO of Lunos and Robert Owen, Co-Founder & CEO of Alidade Systems, sit down to talk candidly about what actually breaks first in early-stage finance operations.

​Drawing on experience taking multiple startups from 0→1 (including two unicorns), Duncan and Robert share what founders and finance leaders consistently underestimate about cash flow, AR, and operational visibility and how small decisions early on create big downstream problems later.

​This is a 30-minute, no-slides, no-pitch fireside chat for CFOs, founders and operators who want fewer surprises and more control as they scale.
