I will talk about the steps startups can take to raise venture capital quickly and successfully. Our startup, Speek, raised $2.8m in less than 2 months - and outside Silicon Valley. I have 8 steps that are crucial to raising enough capital to let your big idea catch on. This is based on an article I wrote for Fast Company magazine: http://www.fastcompany.com/3004817/how-startups-can-avoid-series-crunch
