Venture Capital: The Definitive Guide for Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Practitioners

by Joel Cardis, Sam Kirschner, Stan Richelson

How to attract the venture capital needed to grow any business
Venture Capital teaches entrepreneurs and small business owners everything they need to know about finding the venture capital they need to grow their businesses. Based, in large part, upon in-depth interviews with major players in the venture capital arena--including money managers as well as entrepreneurs who have dealt with them successfully--it provides powerful pointers on how to make a business attractive to venture capitalists, how to protect yourself in negotiating an agreement, how to manage a relationship with venture capitalists once a deal is signed, and much more. Perhaps most importantly, the reader learns what makes venture capitalists tick and sees things through a venture capitalist's eyes.
Joel Cardis, Esq. (Blue Bell, PA), consults both Fortune 500 companies and small businesses on an array of venture and start-up issues. Hildy Richelson, PhD (Scarsdale, NY), is President of the Scarsdale Investment Group, Ltd.

Mr Bill Grimes (one of ESPN founders) made us learn more from reps of the media businesses he financed as an angel. their talks were clearer, with lessons learned et al. i never pass 3rd chapter. hope will never need to pitch - but that might be inevitable as i'm launching 2 babies this year.
