On this episode of The Backbone, I chat with Steve about:  His journey into tech with stints in investment banking at Lazard, TD and Jeffries, buyside at North Bridge Growth Equity prior to making the jump to the operating side. Flywheel and what it’s all about. Transitioning between a sell side investment banker, to the buyside investing in growth stage tech companies and then operating. Considerations when determining the amount of capital to raise?(At Cybereason, Steve helped the company raise $100M from Softbank Flywheel raised $9M this year.) The importance of the finance function at a technology company.  We close things off with a quickfire round:  Your go to online resource for all things startup finance related Your favourite productivity hack Tech jargon that makes you cringe The best advise you’ve received One thing you don’t leave the office before finishing--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/backbone/message
