The Financial Function in Early-Stage Startups

An intimate round-table session for CEOs and founders on the financial decisions that shape company growth. The goal is not to turn CEOs into CFOs. The goal is to help CEOs make better decisions around deals, pricing, budgets, cash flow, runway and growth. 📍 Location: Target Global, Rothschild 13, Tel Aviv 👥 Capacity: 15 CEOs

Meet Erez, CFO, Bria AI Erez Cohn Kaiser is CFO of Bria AI. He came up in the public markets, and went on to build and scale the financial and operating engine through the hypergrowth stages of Verbit AI and Darrow AI, from first revenue to global scale, fundraises, and M&A. The founders and boards he works with bring him the decisions that don't have a clean answer: where to put capital, when to raise, what to prioritize, and what to protect as the company grows. A few of the topics Erez may open up, not a fixed agenda. We'll follow the room's real questions, and the set evolves as the market does: The new era of efficient growth: what changed now that intelligence got cheap, and what it means for how you build Cash, burn & runway: staying alive, reading your true burn, and the "sweet spot" of how much to hold Financial & business fundamentals: which KPIs and signals to track before revenue, and what "good" looks like once it comes Finance debt: the quiet issues (messy books, tax, a tangled cap table) that reprice, delay, or sink your next round Building your finance function in the AI era: when and who to hire first, the Copilot to Autopilot shift, with real examples Through the investor's eyes: what investors and boards actually back in 2026, behind closed doors, and how to be round-ready from Israel
