About HypeFi

Joseph Laviolette

Fractional CFO · Capital Advisor · Founder, HypeFi

Joseph Laviolette is a financial operator and outsourced CFO with deep experience embedding into businesses as a strategic finance leader. His work spans budgeting and forecasting, financial modeling, KPI frameworks, board reporting, and the full range of financial infrastructure that growing companies need — delivered at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. He serves startups, growth-stage companies, and small-to-medium-sized businesses that need senior financial leadership without the overhead.

Beyond the CFO function, Joseph brings a capital markets lens to every engagement — advising on fundraising strategy, capital structure, and investor relations through HypeFi. His background spans venture capital, private equity, and family office ecosystems, giving clients both the operational rigor and the capital access that most financial advisors can't offer in a single relationship.

Philosophy

Moving from Data → Intelligence → Execution

Most fundraising platforms give you a database. HypeFi gives you a strategy. The difference is the layer of intelligence between raw data and a closed round — the analysis, the narrative, the thesis, and the precision of the match.

Data

Structured inputs — deck, model, market, traction — organized into clean, analyzable datasets.

Intelligence

AI-powered analysis that extracts thesis, benchmarks traction, scores readiness, and ranks investor fit.

Execution

Hands-on advisory, warm introductions, and capital strategy that turns intelligence into closed rounds.
