In today’s AI boom, shipping fast gets attention—but building trust gets results. Startups now face higher expectations earlier than ever, with investors demanding clean financials and enterprise buyers requiring strong security before deals close. Once seen as later-stage priorities, SOC 2, audit-ready financials, and risk controls have become day-one signals that fuel growth.

With the right systems, trust shifts from a checkbox to a growth engine—and that’s where Vanta and Mercury step in, equipping early-stage teams to build investor and enterprise-grade credibility without slowing down.

You’ll learn how to:

• Pass investor diligence with confidence and fewer follow-ups
• Avoid security and procurement blockers before they stall a deal
• Stay ahead of compliance and risk without hiring full teams
• Demonstrate capital discipline in a market that rewards it
