VC Review
I highly recommend this playbook to every entrepreneur raising capital. It’s very practical and the author is using real-world examples.

Founder Review
One of the best books for entrepreneurs!!! I’ve always read books with an eye on their practical value and guidance, especially those that help with fundraising. As a female founder, it was important for me to understand the mindset and approach that is necessary to get funded, especially in the tech industry. Specifically how to create the right dynamics with investors to close a deal. Sephi has laid out the critical aspects and gave clear practical examples of how to be a fundable founder. I used these principles to get my first round closed and now preparing for the next round following these same principles. This book is not only useful but also very inspiring! What I love about it the most is that it is so relatable, you keep thinking the stories are about you, because they happened to you in the same way. As a female entrepreneur, I felt empowered and gained an attitude to fundraise with confidence. The book gives you the feeling of "I know what you are going through, I've been there" which makes it relatable to any founder who has ever gone out to raise funds.

A must-read for each startup founder, a bright and funny book.
This book changed my perception of the investment process and answered many open questions I had from personal experience. The author disrupts standard thinking and proposes changing behavioral patterns to become more outstanding, efficient and memorable.
The language is light and vivid. The stunning real-life stories of success and failure from the author's path prove the ideas raised.
Full of original advice and tips, this "Fundable:..." book will definitely have a significant impact on my startup journey.

This is a must read for those raising capital. Shapira gave an insightful window into the investor process and mindset and how to navigate it. The parts about not pitching with a deck, not sending a deck until after a meeting with a decision maker and keeping the control over what you share with investors was game changing.
