Great value, a must read for anyone thinking of getting into the VC world

I wasn’t sure what to expect, it’s difficult for me to learn something without a back and forward exchange. But this audiobook successfully narrated the in and outs of the VC world. From describing what type of personalities do well as VC’s to how to find funding. I highly recommend this audiobook.

A must read....

....great book! My new VC bible, I’ve also now ordered a hard copy to re read.

Brilliant book. Better read than heard however.

Clear and well articulated narration. Highly informative book but the audiobook should have had an accompanying PDF of figures and tables.

Very good VC book

Very clear and informative. Quite US centric but useful insights on the subject. Certainly worth reading if you’re in the industry.

It's a comprehensive guide for beginners in VC

The coverage is comprehensive enough to understand every aspect of the venture capital business. I especially liked the session about the directorship and support for startups after investing.
