Great Advice On Fundraising
2 May 2000
Format:Paperback
When I began to raise money for my medical internet start-up I needed quick advice on the arcane world of angel financing. Angel Investing gave me all the answers from how to find investors to negotiating the deal as well as an understanding of complicated issues such as "convertible debt." The appendix on Angel matching services is the most complete and best I have seen and the appendix on preparing a business plan is invaluable.
We successfully raised $800,000 and we are preparing for our first VC round. My only criticism is that the book should have been called Angel and VC Investing because it contains a wealth of information on VC fundraising as well.

somewhat disappointing
6 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
this is a comprehensive but very basic description of start up investing. if you don't know what VC stands for, this is an excellent book. however, if you have some understanding of new ventures and their finance than you won't find much of value. the authors fills 400 hundred pages with such gems as "the tough part about negotiating equity is that at the end of the day, there's only 100%". the prevalence of referenced quotes is also annoying. "whenever possible, try not to back an inflexible, one product firm" is referenced to "Gordon, 1999". is the reference, or even the thought itself, really necessary to include? any angel that needs this sort of advice should just put his money in the stock market. and why bother with the "whenever possible?" last time i chceked investing was at the discretion of the investor. this book is comprehensive, but most sections are overly simple and ignore important subtleties. if you want a much more useful, insightful and informative book, and particularly if the space you're looking at is >$10M, try "high stakes, no prisoners" by charles ferguson

In-Depth, Practical Information on VCs and Business Angels
20 July 2000
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Angel Investing" is a terrific reference for anyone preparing to seek early-round financing for a business. As the co-founder of a start-up, I have been searching for practical, real-world information on the capital market and the differences between the various options.
This book has been useful throughout my research. It contains an eye-opening comparison of Venture Capital groups and Business Angels. It also gives practical advice on what capital investors look for, what to include in your business plan, what to look for in an investor, as well as how to value your company and negotiate with the capital firms. I have found it invaluable and it has saved me countless hours in my search for seed money.
