Founder Finance: From First £1 to £1M ARR

The financial decisions that shape a business from its first revenue to £1M ARR.

Getting your first £1 is exciting. Getting to £1M ARR requires a very different approach to money.

In this session, we’ll break down the financial journey of an early-stage business and the numbers founders need to understand as they grow.

We’ll explore:

💷 First Revenue — What to focus on when you're making your first sales
📊 Cash Flow — How to know where your money is going and how long it will last
📈 Growth & Margins — When to spend, when to save, and what healthy growth looks like
👥 Hiring & Costs — How to make financial decisions as your team grows
💰 Funding — When raising makes sense and when it doesn't
🚀 £1M ARR — The financial foundations you need to build a sustainable business

Whether you're pre-revenue, making your first sales, or already scaling, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what to pay attention to at your stage.

Build the business. Understand the numbers. Make better decisions.
