Enterprise and Venture Capital: A Business Builder's and Investor's Handbook, 5th Edition

An outstanding read! Clearly written, I devoured this book in three nights, have since re-read it twice and constantly refer to it for reference.
I also bought the book as a gift for the CEO of an Internet Security startup firm. Interestingly, he left it on a plane by mistake and promptly bought a new copy so as not to go without!
Golis outlines the key elements for structuring the V.C. business plan, which takes a bit of effort to get straight but is well worth incorporating his elements in a formal Business Plan.
As a reality check for other buyers, I used this book as a constant reference source in building a submission for Stage 1&2 V.C. raising (which has now successfully been accepted and is in the 'heads of agreement stage' for $500,000 in funds placement).
The book does not present company management issues. Its focus is on the Entrepreneur and Venture Capital raising issues.

This book was given to me by a friend to read, as I was struggling to find angel investors for my new business.
In a world that is otherwise foreign to me (the 'money world'), this book made everything clear: not just how to seek capital, but how to think about my business idea in order to realistically turn it into a fully fledged money-making enterprise. This is a clear window into how the seasoned business people deal with business! I could have sunk a load of money into my idea, without taking it in the direction that it needed to go. This book has given me a road map to get to where I want to be, and has probably saved me from financial and emotional distress. 5 stars to the authors. I'm on Amazon now to buy my own copy...
