High risk, spectacular return…that’s the idea behind VC investing. But smart investors reduce unnecessary risks and maximize return at every step.
You will discover realistic guidance for identifying hidden opportunities…assessing products and markets…evaluating entrepreneurs and managers…negotiating and closing deals…and much more.
Venture Capital Investing also includes insider’s tools for expert investing: everything from sample due diligence questions to psychological assessments of entrepreneurs.
Whatever your role in investing in new companies, this book can help you reduce your misfires–and supercharge your profits.
Venture Capital Investing shows VC investors and angels exactly how to weed through scores of business proposals and find the gem that will deliver outstanding returns.
You’ll learn how to assess entrepreneurs and their management teams, and systematically evaluate every facet of the opportunity they may or may not present. The authors walk you through assessing financial statements, market niches, and competitive environments; appraising the real value of new product and service innovations; and investigating businesses that are already operating. They also offer expert guidance on improving your odds by building effective partnerships with your portfolio companies.
The authors’ best-seller Venture Capital Handbook is the top book for entrepreneurs seeking funding. Now, in Venture Capital Investing, they’ve created a classic for everyone who invests in small- and medium-sized businesses. ”
Customer Review: False review
I’ve noticed same comment made (almost word by word) to the previous book of Gladstone (Venture Capital Handbook) meaning that they’re not reviews at all but sheer PR or advertisement to sell books. I didn’t buy both of them.
Customer Review: VC Investing Basics
Much updated from previous editions, David Gladstone’s useful text provides a very cursory survey of deal and investment techniques, albeit for slightly later than “sexy” stage deals. However, as this book is designed for the novice, and as Lipper’s text has fallen out of print, this sadly remains the only general text on VC investing for the inexperienced, and is useful in context of the level which it is designed to educate. While the many checklists may be somewhat annoying to seasoned VCs, they are probably indispensable to the novice investor, since they provide a summary framework when working through deal and business terms. And while the book is designed more for later stage (through certainly not LATE stage, as some have alluded to) deals, the book is, again, designed to educate the novice venture investor, who really shouldn’t be doing high tech start-ups anyway. Irrespective of that, anyone who presumes to write a text on investing in high tech start ups would likely find his text applicable only for the next few months after printing. Ours is an industry that evolves very quickly, and changes rapidly in accordance to the latest trends. No one can teach you how to pick the winners in the trend that hasn’t happened yet. Getting the basics from a text like Gladstone’s, however, can give you the fundamentals on which to build that “knack”.
