SteelHouse CEO Mark Douglas keynote at REACH NeXT 2015

As large fundraising rounds become a perceived badge of honor, there’s a dangerous belief becoming prevalent in the venture-backed tech community — that once you raise funds you need to spend them at a high rate, or fear missing hyper-growth. Using examples from his personal experience, Mark will discuss the importance of managing your growth and spending, and dispel the myth that you need to burn money to raise more. REACH NeXT (http://www.reachevent.co) is a pitch showdown to spring board the most brilliant and pioneering minds in tech. Complemented with inspirational talks, branded interactive areas, startups, a gaming lounge, panels, and a pre-award show party with live music.
