If you've just closed a raise and you think the hard part's behind you, its not. It's just changed shape. For the last few years, I've sat in more founder events than I can count. And I kept watching the same thing happen. A founder gets up, tells their fundraising story, everyone claps, and the whole room treats that raise like it's the finish line. But it never is. Behind almost every one of those success stories is a founder who's suddenly answerable to one or more investors, all with different agendas…the founders have the money, but are unsure of how to spend it yet. And I've watched bad decision after bad decision happen because nobody had actually guided them on what do to once they raised. In this seminar we present a model to turn that capital into real results, without losing company culture, founders' sanity, or the trust of the people who backed them.
