"Building the plane while flying it" is a common startup mantra. But when it comes to the tech stack, the patchwork of apps and tools becomes a silent growth killer, leading to conflicting data, security risks, and endless manual work.
In this episode of Invention Mode, host Tanya Kohen talks with fractional CFO Maria Frolova about applying an inventive mindset to this core challenge. They unpack the early warning signs founders miss, why clean data is more critical than any single tool, and how to build a scalable financial engine from seed to Series C.
Learn a simple, no-budget exercise to identify your team's biggest inefficiencies, understand why the CFO role is key to your entire company's tech strategy, and get a practical framework to stop patching problems and start building a solid foundation for growth.
Essential listening for founders and finance leaders in FinTech ready to turn tech stack chaos into a strategic advantage.
