Startup CFO Playbook: Build with Brains, Not Borrowed Millions

Most startup books teach you how to pitch investors. This one teaches you how to be your own investor.

If you think startup success means raising millions, hiring "growth hackers", and burning cash like a bonfire—this book will make you laugh and rethink your strategy.

"Startup CFO Playbook" is your honest, funny, and practical guide to building a profitable business without begging investors or drowning in jargon.

Written by Sankar Srinivasan, a certified market professional with 20+ years of experience in finance and trading, this book turns startup finance into simple, real-world lessons. Think of it as your financial GPS—guiding you from "idea broke" to "profitable boss."

How to build with brains, not borrowed money.

The truth about burn rate, runway, and profit margins

How to budget like a CFO—even if you hate spreadsheets.

Smart ways to raise funds without losing control.
