In this episode of Incoming Statements, Anthony Alvernaz, Numeric's Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, talks with Colin Anderson, co-founding partner of Friends & Family Capital and former Palantir Technologies CFO, about building exceptional finance teams during periods of hypergrowth.

Colin shares his journey at Palantir, where he helped scale the company from 100 to over 2,000 employees and $20 billion in valuation. He explains his philosophy on hiring mission-driven people with high "CPU" rather than specific experience, and the importance of creating data systems with "hygiene and legibility" that can answer any business question.

The episode explores how finance functions serve as a support role to create a quantitative lens for the business, helping transform blind spots into clear insights. Colin emphasizes the value of purpose-driven work and how stories backed by data create the most compelling business narratives.
