In this episode of Let's Take Stock, we’re taking a look behind the scenes at the startup/VC relationship. 

From securing the funding, to expanding into a new market - we’ll be lifting the lid on what goes on when a VC decides to come on board, and what every founder needs to know to for a successful partnership. Joining us to discuss this area further is Edel Coen, Principal at Molten Ventures.
