A morning ride for startup finance leaders — the CFOs, controllers, and operators turning burn into growth. Draft with your peers, trade notes on the climbs, and regroup at the top. The paceline is free; the alpha is earned.
Your hosts for the day form a well-balanced portfolio in their own right. a16z brings the peloton together, the investors backing the founders building what's next, and the community where operators compare notes off the record and on the road. Sequence, an a16z portfolio company, powers the back-office engine behind modern finance teams, the kind of infrastructure that turns month-end from a climb into a descent. And Thomson Bike Tours sets the route, the support, and the pace — seasoned guides who know every switchback, sag stop, and secret coffee shop along the way.
Coffee at the start. Pastries at the finish. Bring a road bike and a helmet — we'll handle the tailwind.
Our plan is to split into two groups with laps around the Central Park (before signing up, please make sure you can ride at this pace):
- Ride 1: Training ride with Thomson / pace 18+ mph average - 3 laps
- Ride 2: Social Ride with Thomson / Pace 15+ mph average - 2 laps
