Some of my favorite things about last week’s event?
🤓 As a Numbers nerd
Listening to Diane Horton, who moderated the “Valuations – What’s your company really worth” panel (feat. the great insights of Megh Gupta, Ed Bryant and Russell Samuels) l beat a drum near and dear to our hearts at ForecaaS Software Inc.: the importance of knowing your numbers.
I particularly enjoyed the conversation around Net Retention Rate continuing to be the key metric to measure going into 2025 for those looking for funding or raising money in general.
Agree/disagree? Let me know!
👩❤️👨 As a Dad
Networking events can sometimes feel soulless so I loved the prioritization towards raising money to buy incubators for St Michaels Hospital. Felt good to give and made me feel better about being away from my own little ones. And shout out to Michael Hyatt for matching the donations!

💼 As a Biz Owner
Looks like 2025 will start to see a lot more activity in the market for funding, raising or acquiring. After a few years of rather minimal activity, we’re going to see a bounce back and investor purse strings start to loosen.

I may not have been the exact target for some of the talks but I thoroughly enjoyed my time and the conversations I had so thanks to all I had them with!
