Venture Capital Handbook for 4th Graders
12 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is waste of time. It's like a Highlights Magazine summary of venture lending and investment. It literally has a section called "What do Venture Capitalists look like" and then goes on to explain that sometimes they are have beards and sometimes they don't. I'm not kidding. I was shocked. I flipped through some other pages and found other passages and chapters that were almost that stupid. Curses...foiled again. This book is for fools. Don't waste your money.

VC Basics
13 July 2004
Format:Paperback
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".
Authors' experience very evident.

This book is obviously been written by people who have seen hundreds of proposals. I found it to be an invaluable guide and full of excellent information. While many things did not pertain to our project, we gained excellent insights and saved ourselves from some embarrassing, amateurish missteps. You may not choose to follow all of the guidelines, but for most VC funding projects, EVERYTHING you need to know is well covered.
This was my first foray into private financing, after two decades in nonprofits. This VC handbook made me look and feel like a pro. Worth the investment many times over. I wouldn't dream of writing a funding proposal without it.
