This book does not only expose all the intricacies of the venture capital industry and how to navigate it, but is also a clear demonstration of the author's experience and expertise in the industry; I always prefer books that are able to bring study and practice together.

I am one to make notes inside my books as well as use tabs and by the end my book looked like a highly decorated war general. I am sure I will be referring to it through many years to come. I would highly recommend "The Business of Venture Capital" to anyone who comes close to the VC Industry and even more so to anyone who would like to be a player in it.

The Business of Venture Capital covers the entire spectrum of the VC Business from fund raising, to developing the investment strategy, deal terms, portfolio management and exits. The author is obviously a strong practitioner writing for present and future practitioners with lots of useful, real-time, and up to date examples and quotes from many of the leading VCs and Limited Partners etc. It's the kind of book you will find yourself referring to over and over again if you pursue a career as a VC, but it also a must read for one planning to be a VC. Look at it as a place you can go to get the best answers from the well-versed VCs on all the finer points of this business. This is probably not a read for entrepreneurs, though it may be interesting to some, but it may well become the new Bible for the VC profession.

I devoured the book in a weekend, and loved the way it gives a complete and very clear picture of the business.
Besides effective explanations of main technical topics, all practical examples and eclectic quotations (from Tolstoy to Saint'Hexupery) give the feeling of how important is personal attitude and open-minded approach in this business.

A precious and essential book for every professional involved in VC business, on both investor's and entrepreneur's sides, or simply for who is wondering "how does this work?"

Quoting the author: "as in life, much can be taught by books but most is learned on the battlefield, where a few earn the honors, most become martyrs, and the rest carry the scars for a lifetime"
...I would bring this book with me on the battlefield, just in case...
