In the fast-paced world of tech, it's important for companies to have a strong relationship with their investors. Brian, a former private equity investor and current head of finance at Continue, understands this well. He knows the importance of empathy and understanding when it comes to dealing with investors and ensuring their interests align with the company's goals.

However, the last few years have brought about big macro changes that have affected the way companies report to investors. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a time of uncertainty and worry for many, but it also provided a great opportunity for tech firms to thrive. As the pandemic progressed, there was a shift towards more efficient and prudent growth.

Now, with the economy seemingly heading towards a recession, investors are becoming more cautious and are focusing on profitability and efficient growth. This has led to a shift in reporting requirements, with more emphasis on cash and efficiency metrics. Companies are now expected to provide more timely and iterative reporting to help investors understand the risks associated with the company's growth trajectory.

Brian understands these changes and is working to ensure that Continu is reporting effectively and efficiently to its investors. He knows that the key to a successful relationship with investors is to provide them with the information they need to make informed decisions and to empower them to help the company grow.

In conclusion, the relationship between companies and their investors is constantly evolving, and it's important to understand the changing landscape to ensure success. Brian's background as a former investor and current head of finance at Continu gives him a unique perspective on the importance of empathy and understanding when dealing with investors, as well as the need for efficient and timely reporting in today's economy.
