From Burn to Bridge – Symend's Capital Stack Strategy
In today's tighter funding landscape, scaleup success depends not just on what you build—but how you fund it. With equity harder to raise and dilution more costly than ever, smart founders are shifting from a reactive funding mindset to a proactive capital strategy that flexes with the needs of their business.
In this online webinar, Boast's Sr. Director of Strategic Partnerships and Alliances, Anastasia Hambali, sits down with Aly Khan Musani, CFO & COO of Symend, to unpack the strategic playbook behind their $40M Series B. From balancing equity with debt to leveraging SR&ED and IRAP programs, Aly shares how Symend structured a capital stack that preserved control while creating room to accelerate—not stall—growth.
This discussion provides you a tactical playbook for building the right capital foundation at every stage, including how to time different types of funding, navigate venture debt with caution, and use non-dilutive tools as strategic runway—not reactive lifelines. If you're building with purpose and ready to scale confidently, this show is for you.
