How Carbon Path found a Series B CFO in 9 days

The problem

Carbon Path was six weeks from board approval on a Series B raise and had no CFO. Their existing controller had run the numbers up to that point, but the round needed real leadership.

The engagement

We matched them with three fractional CFOs in 48 hours. Aiko started 9 days after first intro. She stepped into a 2-day-a-week engagement, rebuilt the model, ran investor calls with the CEO, and stayed on through close.

The outcome

• $28M Series B closed in 12 weeks
• 3 investor firms reduced diligence time by 40%
• Retained as fractional CFO post-round
