Raising Venture Capital for the First Time Entrepreneur

You're building a startup from scratch.
Do you want to win competitions?
Do you want to secure investment?

Do you want to shortcut over the trial and error of trying to raise money?

You can learn “The Customer Development Methodology”, “The Lean Startup Manifesto”, and "The Business Model Canvas”, but raising investment capital will be trial and error unless you know how venture capital works.

In this book you will learn:
* How venture capitalists get money to invest, and who gives it to them,
* How long venture capitalists have to invest their funds,
* How venture capitalists profit from investing other people's money,
* What top venture capitalists are looking for in startups,
* How to craft the perfect pitch to a venture capitalist,
* And more

I’m a partner and an entrepreneur-in-residence at a venture capital firm now, but that didn’t happen overnight. I didn’t always understand how venture capital worked, or what was important for a founder to know. My journey took me from the soundstage to the office, from the office to the classroom, from the classroom to city hall, and then to the boardroom.

This book contains the things I wish people had taught me when I was starting. Learn what your startup needs to thrive. Learn what you need to ask for to be successful AND how to ask for it.

You'll learn the ultimate communication tool that you can use with investors, or anybody else who has something of value to give to your startup. You'll get the answers to the questions every founder asks. You'll understand the significance of finding the perfect investor, and you'll gain insight into what they are thinking.
