Now shipping - Third Edition
The definitive guide to demystifying the business of venture capital
About the book
The Business of Venture Capital - third edition released in 2021 covers the entire spectrum of venture capital - from raising funds and structuring investments to assessing exit pathways. Written by a practitioner for practitioners, the book provides the breadth and depth, simplifies the jargon, and balances the analytical logic with experiential wisdom. Offers insights, no BS anecdotes, and wisdom from the experiences of the best-in-class practitioners, venture capital practitioners and LPs.
The book is sold in all major countries and has even been translated in Chinese, implying the impossible notion that capitalists and communists can co-exist, as long as entrepreneurs thrive.
