CFO Dinner

CFO, Trustpilot

New York City
Join us for an exclusive, invite-only CFO Dinner in New York on 2nd November, hosted by Stacks and Lightspeed Venture Partners, a private gathering for finance leaders to connect and exchange ideas in a relaxed, intimate setting.
Over dinner, Hanno Damm (CFO, Trustpilot) will share an off-the-record perspective on IPO preparation and fundraising. A former Apax Partners principal turned operator, he took Trustpilot to a $1.5B London IPO raising $655M, structured venture debt that later became a revolving credit line alongside a $55M pre-IPO round, and moved the business from losses to double-digit EBITDA margins and shareholder buybacks. The conversation will cover why IPO preparation and investor relationships need to start early, how to think about debt versus equity from Series C through to public markets, and what changes about the board and investor relationship once you're public.
It's a tight-knit, 25-person, invite-only breakfast curated for a selection of handpicked finance leaders. We only have a limited number of spots available.
