Kaylan Pepin CPA, CMA
I love tech startups. How they work, how they scale, and especially how they are financed.
I’ve met with and analyzed financial statements for hundreds of technology startups. Each meeting I learn something new from these discussions. I’ve started this blog to share these discussions and debates openly.
It’s a privilege to get to work directly with founders to help them to understand and decide on the best financial options available. Most of the discussions revolve around which financial tools should be used, and when, including evaluating debt and equity options available.
Here is a post about Why I started this blog.
Who am I?
I’m a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CMA) with several years of banking experience including financing technology startups with the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC).
I started my career managing diversified industry (non-tech) portfolios with the Royal Bank of Canada and then the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce’s Commercial Banking groups.
I live in Vancouver, Canada, with my wife, Deanna Pepin, and our dog, Captain Jack Sparrow.

The opinions I share in this blog will be my own and not my employer’s. Especially the bad ones. I’ll take full responsibility/credit for those right now.
The posts and resources are meant to be discussions and guides. There is no single right way to do things and rarely will the rules apply perfectly to all companies in all situations (although there are wrong ways to do things).
Since the advice on this site are guidelines, they may not apply to your specific situation. I hope the resources here are helpful, but they should not replace using professional partners like legal counsel and accountants that know your specific situation and can provide professional advice.
