The real work starts after the round closes
Closing a Series A answers one question and immediately raises five more: how to deploy the capital, when to hire locally versus abroad, and what a lead investor actually expects to see twelve months out. Cake is joining BPM, Espa, and Mignano Law Group for a candid panel on exactly that, moderated by Cake's Garrison Gowens.
The conversation covers what venture investors watch for post-Series A, the tradeoffs between a global PEO and a local subsidiary when hiring abroad, and where options like venture debt or a bridge round fit if the runway needs stretching before Series B.
Whether the next round is 6 to 12 months out or already closed, the session is built to leave founders with a clearer playbook for scaling with intention, not just more capital to spend.
