Built by Founders, For Founders

We started tivodoraaro because we lived through the same funding struggles you face. Our team combines hard-won startup experience with deep financial expertise to help UK entrepreneurs turn ideas into sustainable businesses.

From Struggle to Solution

Back in 2019, we were scrambling to secure our second round of funding. The pitch decks looked great, but our financial projections were a mess. We'd built a product people wanted, but we couldn't articulate the path to profitability in a way that made sense to investors.

That experience taught us something crucial: most founders are brilliant at solving problems for their customers, but struggle to solve the financial puzzle of their own businesses. The gap between great ideas and sustainable ventures often comes down to understanding the numbers that drive growth.

We spent months learning financial modeling the hard way - through trial and error, expensive consultants, and plenty of rejected proposals. Eventually, we cracked the code and closed our funding round, but we wished someone had taught us these skills from the beginning.

What Drives Our Work

Every program we create reflects the lessons we learned building businesses from the ground up

Real-World Application

We teach financial concepts using actual startup scenarios you'll encounter. No theoretical examples - just practical skills you'll use immediately in your business planning and investor conversations.

Honest Guidance

Building a startup is challenging enough without sugar-coating the reality. We share what actually works, what doesn't, and help you avoid the expensive mistakes we made along the way.

Long-term Partnership

Your business will evolve, and so will your financial needs. We're here for the journey - from initial planning through scaling challenges and everything in between.

Zariah Flemming

Lead Financial Strategy Consultant

Former CFO at three UK startups, Zariah specializes in helping founders create financial models that tell compelling stories to investors. She's guided over 40 companies through successful funding rounds.

Kirstyn Blackwood

Startup Growth Advisor

With experience building and exiting two SaaS companies, Kirstyn focuses on sustainable growth strategies. She helps founders understand the unit economics that drive long-term success.

How We Actually Help

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every startup faces unique challenges, and your financial strategy should reflect that reality.

  • We start by understanding your specific market and business model
  • Our programs focus on the financial skills most relevant to your industry
  • You'll work with real data from your business, not generic case studies
  • We provide ongoing support as your needs evolve and your business grows

Most importantly, we teach you to become self-sufficient. While we're always here when you need guidance, our goal is to give you the confidence and skills to make informed financial decisions independently.
