Good readings for a CEO/CTO to grasp basic CFO notions

8 pointsby snickmyabout 10 years ago
Nowadays more and more startups kickstart with a strong technical knowledge base. Sometimes the common scenario includes a low, if not completely absent, finance knowledge.<p>I&#x27;m not talking about basic economy&#x2F;financial knowledge that impact business plans. Is more about having a big picture of the growth process in the mid&#x2F;long run.Talking about funding, IPOs, stocks admin, forex.<p>From a tech-CEO&#x2F;CTO point of view, I do believe is important to have a rough understanding. What would you suggest as a good reading? What pitfalls to look after?<p>Thank you
