Hudson Cashdan, CFA
My approach to startup growth blends Wall Street expertise with the innovation of Sand Hill Road and the hustle of Main Street. I've cut my teeth in all three worlds – from analyzing billion-dollar deals on Wall Street to the nitty-gritty of running small businesses.
I'm your guide, Hudson Cashdan, and my career has spanned the full spectrum of American business. At ReachCapital Management, I navigated the global capital markets, analyzing complex investments and uncovering hidden gems. Then, I swapped trading floors for boardrooms, diving into M&A and financing with Glenwood Capital, helping middle-market companies punch above their weight.
Now, my focus is on you: the fearless founders building the future. Whether you're fundraising, optimizing your financials, or plotting your growth strategy, I'm your strategic advisor and fractional CFO, both on the Toptal platform and independently. My goal isn't just a project, it's a long-term partnership, fueled by collaboration and, in many cases, genuine friendship.
