Presenters:

David Ehrenberg

I work with entrepreneurs and businesses at all stages of development, providing financial insight and mentorship. I founded Early Growth in 2008 to provide a service that I couldn't find when I was working in early stage companies – outsourced high-quality accounting and strategic financial consulting services on-demand. I personally oversee all of the work we do at Early Growth to ensure top-quality service. As any successful entrepreneur can tell you, success depends on more than simply having a good product/service offering. The business issues are what will make or break you. Early Growth has expertise in providing just-in-time financial support for small businesses -- from fundraising to cash management to strategic planning to financial projections to creating and implementing simple financial systems that work.

I’m inspired by the entrepreneurs I work with on a daily basis. It’s my passion to help businesses with great potential to focus their internal resources on what they do best -- so they can scale and succeed.
