BFCM Cash Check: Get Your Brand Finances Holiday-Ready with Highbeam
BFCM CASH CHECK
30 minutes to get your brand finances ready for your biggest weekend
Your best sales weekend can also be your tightest cash weekend. Inventory is bought, ads are running, and the payouts haven't landed yet.
David Segal has lived this from the founder's seat. He built DAVIDsTEA from one boutique into a public company with 200+ stores, then co-founded Firebelly Tea, a digital-first brand, alongside Shopify president Harley Finkelstein. Now he's President of Highbeam, the finance platform built for consumer brands.
In this session, David walks DVA founders through getting your finances BFCM-ready.
We'll cover:
Cash flow planning for the weeks between buying inventory and getting paid out
When outside capital makes sense for a holiday push, and when it doesn't
Managing ad spend through Black Friday and Cyber Monday without draining your account
The numbers to watch from now through Cyber Monday, and after
Come with questions. We'll leave time for live Q&A.
