It's like having Brad whispering in your ear when you pitch VCs
19 luglio 2011
Di DROdio
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Rilegato
(Note - although the book isn't available yet, you can get it on a Kindle immediately -- that's what I did)
I'm CEO of a tech company based in Silicon Valley, and I've been reading Brad's blog for a long time.
I wasn't sure how much new information the book would provide -- after all, just following the blogs of top Valley-based entrepreneurs and VCs provides a wealth of information (Brad Feld, Fred Wilson, Steve Blank, Mark Suster, pmarca, Sean Ellis, Ben Horowitz -- the list goes on)
But the book delivers in a few key areas: First off, Brad & Jason break down the entire process from soup to nuts. That's great for first-time entrepreneurs. I wouldn't be surprised if this book became the bible of startup incubator programs. There's enough detail to make it feel fresh, but it's not so dense that it's hard to get through. I would suggest a re-read though, especially if you're completely new to fundraising (like Dick Costolo says in the forward, if you don't know preferred stock from chicken stock).
The real value for more experienced entrepreneurs lies in the nuances of the fundraising process. If you've been through it before, you know that one misstep can be very costly, and there's absolutely a "code" to follow. Its described eloquently as VCs looking to do deals with those who can speak their language. So consider this a way to get fluent in that language, so you can focus on what's important to you, instead of junior mistakes.
For those looking to raise an angel round only: I've written a series of blog posts about our experience raising $1MM for our statup. The raise took us 14 weeks, and my goal is to help other entrepreneurs do it more quickly and efficiently. You can read about my "Fundraising Cribsheet Manifesto" at [...] . Hope it's helpful, and good luck!

Become an insider
17 luglio 2011
Di Scott C. Yates
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Rilegato
It seems like a lot of deals that you hear about from the VC world are all done by insiders. Part of that is just perception, but part of it is reality: People who've done lots of VC deals get VC funding much more quickly and easily.
Part of that, clearly, is the track record. I think another part of it, however, is just the world of VC. The actual VCs are so busy that they just don't have time to give a whole education to the founders of the companies that are seeking funding. They want to deal with someone who speaks their language.
That's why this book is so useful. Any reader who really gets immersed in every page won't be able to help but emerge from the experience with an imprint of the language of VC. If you really read it, you'll have the advantage of at least sounding like an insider, someone who really has the language down. If you have the language down, well, that's the crucial first step.
If you were thinking of moving to, say, Portugal for more than five years, you'd probably buy a book and really try to learn some Portuguese before you go and keep it with you there. If you really want to get some VC, you are going to live in that world for at least five years. This is the book you need to read and study over and over for your journey.

Required reading if you're starting a tech business
17 luglio 2011
Di Eduardo Fernández
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Rilegato
You need to read this book if you are running a startup or plan to start a company soon. If you're like me, you've probably scoured the internet for this sort of information before. There are some fantastic blogs out there, but it's very difficult to find detailed and specific information. All you need to know about raising money is here, in a nice package. Go buy it now.
