While many networking events can be superficial, our recent #SanFrancisco dinner at Liholiho was anything but. The group dove deep into big picture resourcing and how organizations are strategizing for the second half of the year. We explored considerations for up-leveling existing teams and the role AI plays in resourcing decisions. No easy answers, but plenty of lively debate! We also got tactical, discussing financial topics from usage-based pricing approaches to the appropriate level of technical knowledge CFOs and finance teams should have. And it wasn't all work! We connected on a personal level, sharing favorite vacation destinations, the latest 'must watch' streaming shows, and advice for expecting parents. Thank you to Weston Rice from Stifel Bank for sponsoring this great evening, to our dinner lead Jon Michaels for driving the conversation, and Lyonna F., Cameron Kinloch, Neoshi Chhadva, Matt Ghering, Danny Lin-Goldsmith, Jason Randoing, Stephanie Hsiung, Jennifer Ng, and Jia Han for joining us.

What an insightful dinner in Washington, DC, bringing together finance and operations professionals from tech start-ups! The evening underscored a significant shift in the industry—from impersonal, virtual interactions back to value-based, in-person connections. We delved into the painstaking process of federal government procurement, explored the bold journey from Operator to Founder, and exchanged invaluable insights. A highlight of the night was curating a "#DC OG Summer Reading List," with each member contributing their top book recommendation. Some recommendations include: 📖 Creative Confidence recommended by Josh Doubleday 📖 Good Strategy/Bad Strategy recommended by Marcos Torres 📖 Invisible Women recommended by Leticia Richard Thank you Jack Lynch and Jeremy James, PMP for leading our DC chapter and to Joanne Stableford, Darcey Bennett, Joshua Doubleday, Anthony Pirraglia, Marcos E.

What an incredible evening at Ernest in #SanFrancisco! Conversations at OG events are rarely surface level and this event was no different. The evening was filled with engaging discussions about operators transitioning to founders - that many operators want to start something but haven't found an idea they're passionate about and that many operators seek the ultimate challenge of building their own venture as they get bored easily and crave new challenges. Thank you Marsh McLennan and Bryce Novak for sponsoring this great event and Aayush Daftari, James Chou, Jonas Laucys, KARAN MALHOTRA, Neoshi Chhadva, Nym Raske, Natasha Prasad, Russ Fagaly, and Evan Meagher, CFA for joining us!
