Finance & Fundraising Editor
Maya Okonkwo
Maya covers the finance, fundraising, equity, and tax surface — runway, unit economics, cap-table mechanics, SAFE / convertible / priced rounds, and the tax planning that catches first-time founders. Background: 8 years operating finance at venture-backed SaaS, two of those as a Head of Finance pre-Series-B. Writes from inside the spreadsheets, not from the deck.
