Not Selling the Farm - The Delicate Balance Between Raising Capital and Keeping Control of Your Company

It’s no secret that the startup industry is driven by three non-product topics: reputations, egos and dollar signs. $15 million Series A’s and $60 million Series C’s drive today’s news, but few young entrepreneurs and startups genuinely know what this means for a business. Are huge rounds really what you should be chasing? Or are you just avoiding the toughest part of building a business? In this panel the GoSpotCheck cofounders Samantha Holloway and Matt Talbot will talk about the downsides to huge rounds and how to ensure you get reasonable funding without selling the farm.
