​You worked hard to bring the money in. Is your back office quietly letting it out?

​Most growing companies don't get hurt by what they know. They get hurt by what nobody told them to check: an employee paid salary who should have been hourly, a benefits filing done wrong for three years, a financing term that looked fine until it wasn't, the loyal team member who got handed HR because nobody else was available.

​This is an evening for founders, owners, and operators who want to find the gaps before they turn into a bill.

​What you'll walk away with

• ​A tight panel on the four pillars that protect your revenue: financing, financial infrastructure, HR infrastructure and people infrastructure

• ​Small-group rotations where you sit down with each expert and ask the questions you've never had a place to ask

​Meet the panel

​Shawn Flynn is Managing Director at SVH Capital (Silicon Valley Highpoint Capital), where he works with mid-market companies on raising capital, mergers and acquisitions. He also hosts The Silicon Valley Podcast. On the panel, he covers how to get the money to grow without walking into the hidden traps.

​Dawoud Nasraty is a CPA and the founder of Ascent Financial Consulting, where he serves as a fractional CFO for founders and growing companies. He helps owners get accurate numbers, steady cash flow and investor-ready reporting. On the panel, he covers how to make sure the money coming in is tracked, allocated and protected.

​Kevin Kinkor is a fractional People leader who partners with early- and growth-stage companies to build and scale their talent and HR functions. Over the past decade, he has built and led talent teams at leading technology companies, including Facebook and Pandora. On the panel, Kevin will share practical insights on hiring and managing talent strategically while navigating employment law and compliance considerations.

​Wei Houng is co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer of HumanOp® Technologies. He has spent more than thirty years coaching founders and leaders, from large companies to people bootstrapping out of a spare room. On the panel, he covers the right people in the right seats, and where AI should fill gaps instead of piling more hats on your team.

​Your host

​Steven Brown has spent more than a decade in HR and payroll technology. At Paylocity, he works with small and mid-size Bay Area companies and sees firsthand where payroll, HR and compliance gaps quietly cost growing businesses money. He hosts the evening and moderates the panel.
