A biotechnology company focused on plant-based food ingredients needed to develop and execute a strategy for Series B fundraising, but the company wasn’t ready to hire a full-time CFO. Wanting a leader with experience in early-stage development to create a four-year financing strategy and support this next phase of growth, the CEO and CHRO reached out to Business Talent Group. BTG delivered a former private equity partner and finance executive with expertise in the retail and restaurant sectors to serve as an interim finance advisor. With the consultant in place, the company closed Series B well over its initial fundraising goal and established a robust financial strategy that allowed for the creation of a permanent CFO position with the ultimate goal of going public.
