Our expert guest presenter is Kiran MehtaFractional, Chief Of Staff

A finance expert, a previous VC, and now on the tech company side, providing advice on: Structure, Data and clarity, to scale (and exit) 

If you’re running a tech business and you’ve passed the first hurdle,

  • Your product or service is out there, you have paying customers,
  • Maybe a seed round or £20k+ MRR,

Then you’ll know what comes next.

  • Sales are happening, but not smoothly or consistently.
  • Your hires are hit-and-miss.
  • You’re holding it all together when you’d rather be driving the next phase of growth.

That’s where Kiran Mehta comes in. A fractional operator bringing VC-side insight and senior leadership experience, Kiran embeds with founders across Go To Market, product, ops and finance, sharpening ICPs, building RevOps dashboards, prepping for Series A, fixing pricing, and getting CEOs back out of the day-to-day.

Why You Should Attend?

  • Real frameworks, not generic advice — how Kiran moves founders from effort-driven traction to repeatable, data-led growth.
  • The Series A prep playbook — what actually matters in the six months before a raise, and why most founders start the work too late.
  • Pricing truths most founders avoid — where you’re almost certainly leaving money on the table, and how to fix it without scaring clients off.
  • Get the CEO out of the weeds — the OKRs, KPIs and operating cadence that buy your time back.
  • Frank conversations with peers — other post-seed tech founders wrestling with the same scaling problems, in one room.
  • Bring your hardest current question — informal Q&A and time with Kiran on the night.

Location: Strawberry fields, Chorley
