About the Keynote Speaker: Joshua Lee, Founder @ Ardius (Acquired by Gusto)
Joshua Lee is the Founder and CEO of Ardius (a Gusto company) that combines intelligent automation technology and accounting experts to get startups access to R&D tax credits. He started this company after 13.5 years at Ernst & Young (“EY”) and later working in Venture Capital, where he saw how startups could benefit from knowing about the power of R&D (and other types of) tax credits.
As an avid venture investor, advisor, start-up founder, and board member, Joshua consistently found his passion in starting, growing, and leading SaaS fintech B2B companies, especially those in the early startup and growth phases.
Having founded several venture building funds, there is definitely a unique perspective and appreciation Joshua bring and has as both a founder and investor. Of the 3 stages (Starting - Executing - Exiting), Joshua has done a very thorough analysis and study of the Exit, and love debating whether the Exit is more of an "art" or "science."
