Capital Strategies for Founders From Seed to Exit
Founders spend years optimizing their company’s capital strategy and almost no time on their own.
Yet the decisions made at seed, Series A, growth, and pre-exit stages can shape a founder’s personal wealth, tax exposure, liquidity options, and family legacy for decades.
Join Miami Fintech Club × BNY Wealth for Capital Strategies for Founders: From Seed to Exit, a curated members-only breakfast taking place on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM ET at the BNY Wealth Office, 1450 Brickell Ave., 14th Floor Conference Room, Miami.
This candid, off-the-record conversation brings together BNY Wealth’s institutional expertise, Holland & Knight’s legal perspective, and MFC’s founder community.
What We’ll Cover
Seed stage:
How early equity decisions affect a founder’s personal balance sheet, including QSBS, founder stock structuring, and decisions to make before the cap table grows.

Pre-exit and exit:
Tax-efficient planning ahead of an M&A or IPO event, including trusts, charitable vehicles, and timing considerations that can materially affect outcomes.
