Finance know-how for the companies that build things
Breeze CFO brings CFO-level finance thinking to hardware and deep tech startups through practical tools, plain-English guides and a free weekly email.
Make strong finance reachable for every hardware team
Good finance helps founders make calmer, better decisions: when to hire, what to charge, how much to raise and when to start talking to funders. Larger companies get that from an experienced CFO. Many early hardware teams don't have one yet.
Breeze CFO exists to close that gap, so founders and finance leads can apply CFO-level thinking themselves, with tools and explanations built for how their companies actually work.
Different businesses, different numbers
Hardware, deep tech and defense companies spend heavily before they earn. Tooling, equipment and inventory are paid for early, margins depend on the bill of materials and volume, and money often comes from a mix of grants, government contracts, lenders and investors.
Advice written for software companies can miss what matters most here. Everything we make starts from these realities.
How we build
Practical first
Every tool and guide should help with a real decision, not just describe a concept.
Plain words
Finance terms are explained where you need them, without jargon for its own sake.
Checks built in
Our models show whether they still tie out, so you can trust the numbers you share.
Simple and transparent
Standard spreadsheets with no macros or hidden logic. You can see how every number is built.
Invented examples
Examples use made-up companies and numbers, never real company data.
Education, not advice
We help you think clearly. Your own accountants, lawyers and advisors still matter.
Proudly pro-defense
We support the companies building for the Department of War and America’s national security, and we build our tools with their funding paths in mind: SBIR and STTR, other government programs and the move to production.
