Early Growth Is There To Guide The Way
Pre-Seed
You're just getting started, but that's the best time to build a solid foundation. Although you might be pre-revenue, the government still requires that you file tax returns and make other filings. And though you're probably not earning, chances are that you're raising funds and spending money. Get it right the first time around.
Early Growth can help with:
- Taxes
- Financial Modeling & Budgeting
- Fundraising Support

Seed Stage
Ok, so now you've got some money in the bank and you're off to the races. Money is starting to come in, both from investors (thank you Friends & Family) and customers, and the time for DIY finance is in the rearview as you speed forward.
You'll want to make sure the day-to-day is taken care of so you can focus on your business. And with some investors on board, and hopefully more to come, now is the time you need a CFO to help prepare for the future.

Series B & Beyond
You've hit your stride, and this idea that you had a few years ago has turned into a real business. You've got customers, and maybe employees & investors, all around the world. And, if you're good enough and lucky enough, you might have an opportunity to grow your business through acquisition or exit it through a sale or IPO. Yep, this just got real... really complicated.

We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
For years we’ve taken actions to put a stop to the racial inequities in our world, but at a time when “enough is enough”, what we were doing wasn’t enough. The following is our updated action plan:
- Community Support: For the last several years Early Growth has supported organizations focused on working with minority founders. Annually, we have sponsored the African American Entrepreneur party at South by Southwest, sponsored Cross Culture Ventures (now MaC Venture Capital) to help Black founders seeking funding, and we have hosted over a dozen events around minority entrepreneurs over the years. In 2020 we will continue to support these organizations, and we will be adding at least one new organization to list, Global Eye Entrepreneurs.
- Hiring Practices: We value diversity. Our goal has always been to have a team that reflects the population in terms of both race and gender, at all levels of our organization. We’ve done well, but we know we can do better. As a result, we’re changing our hiring practices. Actively seeking out African American candidates via colleges that are inclusive of minority candidates, as well as opening up our recruiting efforts in more diverse cities and states, we will expand the reach of our recruiting to be more inclusive of all races, genders and ethnicities.
In addition, we've launched two new programs to assist Black entrepreneurs directly:
- Black Founder Mentorship Program: Our Black Founder Mentorship program gives African American entrepreneurs access to consult with our experienced CFOs at no charge.
- $10,000 Award Program: Throughout the course of each year, our CFOs will nominate two companies in our Black Founder Mentorship program for a special award. If selected, you will be granted $10,000 of free monthly accounting & finance services as a full-service client of Early Growth.

Programs For Black Founders
Early Growth has been instrumental in our success. We’d be lost without them.
When we had a small team and a small workload, we were self-managing, but then we began taking orders and adding new operating costs. It was evident that we needed to bring on a financial team.
