Challenges:

  • Compliance Bottlenecks: Manual KYC processes delayed client onboarding by 7 days, causing 5% churn ($250,000/year).

  • Hiring Gaps: 120-day hiring for compliance staff slowed growth.

  • Fundraising Weakness: High burn rate (25% above target) deterred investors.

Results:

  • Hiring: Reduced hiring time by 33% (120 to 80 days), adding 4 staff.

  • Fundraising Prep: Lowered burn rate by 15%, securing $7M Series B.

  • Automation: Saved 10 hours/week in compliance tasks.
