Join These Events to Learn & Connect

Founders and finance leaders shouldn't have to build in isolation. Build Scale Grow helps you learn faster, connect deeper, and stay resilient as you grow your company. We support two engaging groups to make this happen.

Founded in 2016, The New York Tech CFO Group is a free, collaborative community where finance leaders swap real-world insights on strategic planning, benchmarking, and financial solutions. Their upcoming events include:

• Silent Strength: Thriving as an Introverted Startup Leader – January 28 

• Silent Strength: Thriving as an Introverted Startup Leader – February 4 (online) 

• CFO Happy Hour – February 11 

• CFOs & the Board: At the Center of Strategy and Scrutiny – February 25

• Profit & Purpose: Impactful, Resilient, AND Lucrative Businesses – March 4

• Trust, Tech, and the Bottom Line: CFOs at the Frontline of AI Risk – March 25 

Table, launched in 2019, helps founders, advisors, and investors turn tough questions into practical insights and next steps. Table hosts morning sessions (9 am) and evening sessions (5 pm) every month, with new gatherings launching in Raleigh, NC and Chicago, IL.

If you're a founder or finance leader ready to learn, connect, and grow with peers facing similar challenges, reach out at [email protected] to share topic ideas or cities where you’d like to see us next.

Connect Your 5-Year Plan to Today

“Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.” —Bill Gates

As you create or update your plans for the new year and beyond, remember that resolve requires resolution. 

Though the title above mentions "5 years," you can adjust this timeframe. What matters is looking far enough ahead to rise above your current challenges. Envision where you want to be professionally and personally.

With your plan in place, work backward to the present. Break it down into annual and quarterly goals, then monthly targets, and finally weekly actions. Schedule time each week to complete these tasks, review your progress, and adjust as needed.

This process requires significant effort up front and ongoing commitment. But once in place, you'll align your daily activities with your long-term goals, becoming more intentional with your tasks and more confident in saying no to things that don't support your priorities.
