Excited to share that I'll be speaking at CFO Connect to share my thoughts on "𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐀 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡."

Peter advocates for a 'Buy AND Build' strategy, prioritising ownership, customisation, and knowledge transfer to enhance trading software development outcomes while minimising time to market and resource expenditures, as opposed to traditional outsourcing or choosing between ready-made or proprietary solutions.

Hello! We're back and building! lemon should become a fundamental part of every SMB in the next 5 years, here's why I think that: #1 We (businesses) rely on software more than ever to power our operations. This reliance is only going to continue to grow. #2 Consolidation is vital. The more SaaS we use, the messier it typically gets and overspend happens frequently. #3 Cashflow, runway and efficiency are top of most businesses agenda as we move through 2024. #4 Financing is still tough. 2023 saw fewer equity investments and more expensive lending products. There are alternative solutions and models that put the controls back into the hands of SMB's. #5 Personalised experiences are becoming standard. No longer does one size fit all. Every SMB is different, the way we use products should be too. It all starts with gaining control over those recurring costs. With control comes more accurate financing decisions, more realistic forecasting, better personalisation and more effective new product discovery. It really is the best place to start. And now is the best time to start. Make 2024 the one. If you want to start building a cheaper, unique and all round simpler experience with SaaS, DM me and you can join our closed BETA of customers using our first product. More news coming v soon. 👀

We are back at the Money Experience Summit MX and looking forward to networking with fellow businesses. DM to connect and learn more about Linker Finance | Techstars '23 Ana Zuniga
