I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year. But it's actually my first finance-related experience (interned and now part-time as I'm in my senior year of undergrad) and don't know really how to have an impact as my knowledge is "limited" and have no technical mentorship.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

Maybe there are people at other startups you admire? Maybe you can learn from them. Also do not put too much pressure on yourself, you are starting out and it is okay not to know everyting.

Maybe ask execs what to do for extra mile. My best guess is finding peers outside of company. Maybe industry conferences and network there?
