ABOUT BASTIAN PAETZOLD
LinkedIn Top Voice in Venture Capital. Founding member of a no BS CFO network.14 years experience from working as a fractional/outsourced CFO, sparring partner to executives and or angel investing in technology startups, scaleups as well as private-public-partnerships.VCs hire me for DD (tax, finance and legal) and CEOs hire me for fundraise strategy, shareholder relations, fundraise execution, negotiations & legals, due diligence, notarisations, cashflow models, full M&A lifecycle, working capital optimisation and the big partnerships. Sometimes, I also do a jolly full parental cover for CFO or CEO duties. Most of my clients are looking towards Series B, C, D or an acquisition. Some achievements- 9x venture capital rounds executed in lead Finance seat- 5x heard \"holy cow, you just saved us more than from Founders (unrelated to staff cost)- 5x parachuted into startups that were facing insolvency, and turned things around by cost-cutting, hands-on shareholder work, invoice-finance and working with customers who were unable/willing to pay- 3x coached existing Finance team leaders through tough executing funding rounds- 3x negotiated and secured boilerplate / largest deals in a venture\'s history at that time, e.g. deals with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, European Space Agency or Hewlett Packard- 1x parachuted into a nightmare of a Finance house where the whole responsible team of 5 stopped working … and got it up and running again, to minimum viable level, within 6 weeks.
