The Numbers That Matter: Financial Metrics for Entrepreneurs with Emily Yang
What do the numbers actually look like when you're building something real?
Join us for an intimate roundtable with Emily Yang, Senior VP of Finance & Analytics at Pirate Ship — the free shipping software that's helped hundreds of thousands of small businesses scale since 2014. Before Pirate Ship, Emily built her finance and operations career at companies like Tesla and Marqeta. She knows what the early numbers look like, what the scary numbers look like, and what the ones that actually matter look like.
This will be an hour of open, honest conversation about financial metrics, business wellness, and the questions founders actually have but don't always know who to ask.
Come with your real questions. Leave with answers you can actually use. This one stays small on purpose, seats are limited.
