О ЧЕМ КНИГА:
Короткое пошаговое руководство о том, как создать свой венчурный фонд. В целом ничего нового, но пригодится, чтобы отполировать свой подход. Автор очень хорошо объяснил ключевые метрики работы фонда и то, как их считать.

ГЛАВНАЯ МЫСЛЬ КНИГИ:
Создание своего венчурного фонда - это непростой и долгий процесс. Этот вариант бизнеса точно не подходит тем, кто ждёт быстрого обогащения.

ЗАЧЕМ ЧИТАТЬ ЭТУ КНИГУ?
Чтобы разобраться в главных деталях и шагах создания венчурного фонда.

МЫСЛИ И ВЫВОДЫ ИЗ КНИГИ:

- 3 главные метрики работы венчурного фонда: Net Internal Rate of Return (Net IRR), Total Value to Paid in Capital (TVPI), and Distributions to Paid in Capital (DPI).

- It is helpful for investors to know (1) your process for finding and maintaining good, quality deal flow; (2) your pricing strategy for when and how you’ll invest; (3) what qualities you look for in entrepreneurs; (4) what you look for in co-investment partners; (5) your philosophy on taking board seats.

- В венчурных инвестициях репутация - это ключевой фактор успеха фирмы.

- For VC firms, reputation is everything, especially as it relates to attracting high-quality entrepreneurs and co-investing with other venture firms.

- Три главных документа, которые нужно сделать при создании фонда:
1. Private Placement Memorandum,
2. Limited Partner Agreement,
3. Subscription Agreement

- Хорошая штука - квартальный письменный отчёт от GP в формате эссе, где он рассказывает свои выводы за прошедший квартал, подводит итоги работы компаний, в которые проинвестировал фонд, даёт анализ отраслей и будущих потенциальных сделок.

- Основные разделы квартального отчёта от GP фонда. Total committed capital, capital called to date, total LP contributions, total number of portfolio company investments, total distributions, total LP distributions, total value of remaining companies, and the total number of active companies remaining in the portfolio.

ЧТО Я БУДУ ПРИМЕНЯТЬ:
- Сделаю Private Placement Memorandum, так как это хорошее дополнение к основному договору между партнерами.

A bit brief

It’s hard to get a lot of detail into 70 pages, but this is a good summary. Has some good information on nuts and bolts of fund admin.

It was pretty good in terms of what it set out to do. Docked it a star for a fair number of typos as the book progressed.

It is a memo, or long blog post, or a checklist booklet.
A quick read...

This was helpful! Good book to thumb through periodically during the raise. It's a gentle start and good overview. Good companion to Biz of VC, the textbook treatment of the field.
