Startupedia: Key terms and concepts for the budding entrepreneur
Entrepreneurs need to know their businesses better than anybody else. Their life is tougher, their game is harder. This small encyclopedia was written as a companion to the process of thinking about startup ideas and putting it all on paper, be it for the sole purpose of planning or raising funding with an investor pitch. It is intended as an introduction, so don’t be surprised if you finish it and still feel that’s the idea.
"Part of being able to successfully raise money as an entrepreneur is understanding concepts and lingo used in the venture world. I wish I had this book five years ago when I was raising venture capital for the first time!" -- Davis Smith, cofounder of Cotopaxi
"The use of industry-specific vocabulary is many times the difference between a good entrepreneur and one that gets funded. Startupedia is the most practical and comprehensive guide to budding entrepreneurs who want to really dig into the world of startups and really get what's behind Venture Capitalist's minds." -- Eduardo Campos, cofounder of Parafuzo

If are new to start up then it's must-read book to know the terms and how they work and if are already in the startup world still read this books to leverage some fancy words/acronyms. Overall the book is well written and indexed to make reading easy for any reader regardless if they are actually in startup world or just want to know person.
