Debt Is a Chess Game: Play to Win

​Debt Is a Chess Game: Play to Win

​Strategic debt isn’t risky—it’s calculated. Learn how top founders use financing to unlock growth, not derail it.

​Too many founders treat debt like a last resort. But when used strategically, it’s a powerful lever for scale. In this session, we’ll unpack how to think like a CFO when it comes to financing: timing your moves, avoiding common pitfalls, and planning several steps ahead.

​Hosted by Irene de Gooyer-Collins, CFO at Growth Partners and Adam Katz, Founder and CEO at Kooltra - an all in one treasury, FX and compliance platform - this breakfast brings a founder and CFO perspective on the debt raising process.

​Whether you’re fundraising, thinking about venture debt, or just trying to extend runway—this breakfast will sharpen your playbook.

​Start the day with strong coffee, good food and even better conversation.
