    Dalton Caldwell

    This session defines critical startup financial mechanics, including burn rate, profitability thresholds, and the structural differences between angel, seed, and Series A funding rounds. It distinguishes between equity instruments like convertible notes and SAFEs while explaining how metrics such as ARR and Total Addressable Market inform valuation and growth strategy. The discussion concludes by outlining the transition from finding product-market fit to scaling operations, ultimately leading toward an IPO or sustained bootstrapping.
