This book is an excellent read - I really, really enjoyed it and found it very useful.
As the CEO of an early internet company I found Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson's insights, knowledge and experience really useful. Even though I am based in England and not the US, the advice is relevant to anyone looking to be well versed and educated in dealing with Venture Capitalist's and Investors in their company.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Buy it, you will not regret it.

Read Venture Deals on a flight from London to Johannesburg recently, and really enjoyed it, so wanted to write something positive ;-)
Busy with a supportive investor convertible note negotiation so we can keep the top line growing, and the book has given me a broader perspective than I had before I read it -> "Economics and Control" is probably the best three word wisdom I've read in a long while. Book is written in an engaging style, and tone of voice is not preachy. Easy to read and digest.
For first timers, definitely recommended.
For old times, think there is definitely enough meat to add to or change perspectives.
Recommended. #JFDI.
