Good Book on Angel Investor + Venture Capital Basics

This is a good book if you want to learn the basics on what angel investing really means, how to find an angel investor(s), and the steps you may need to take for additional venture capital down the road.

Do you need to find a partner, co-owner, or an angel investor for your startup, then read this book

At first glance when I pulled this book off the bookstore shelf a few days ago I figured it was going to be a 4-star book. The text is kind of thin at 150 pages, and the individual pages have a lot of white in the top and bottom margins. But when I read the book this afternoon I really liked the topic that was covered and the content that was included. I highly recommend this book to any wanta-be entrepreneur or small business owner that is in need of capital for her business that a new partner, new co-owner, or angel investor could provide. Two thumbs up! I read this book a little out of order since I am somewhat familiar with its topic. I started with the Glossary at the end of the book. Knowing the definitions of the terms included in the Glossary will definitely help the reader better comprehend the front part of the book. I then read the section entitled "The Experts Talk" and enjoyed those short dialogs. And then I skimmed the Sample Term Sheet included. Lastly I read through chapters 1-9 which make up the body of the book. My favorite chapter was Chapter 5 entitled Valuation. Putting a value on a startup is tough to do in practice, but I think the author did a great job covering the subject. I think it could have been done better, but it was definitely done well. I'm a SCORE volunteer counselor and I read books like the instant one in order to determine if I should recommend it to my SCORE clients for reading. Many of my SCORE clients have had questions about angel investors and venture capital firms as sources of raising funds for their startups. And I tell many of my SCORE clients that if they really need capital and they don't want to sell out in 2-5 years, then they should think in terms of getting a partner who can infuse capital into the business. Up until reading the instant book I have not had a book to recommend to these clients. I've had to explain it verbally during our face-to-face counseling sessions. This book includes what I tell those clients AND THEN SOME. 5 stars!

Finding an Angel Investor in a day

Nice book, Easily read and well thought out. Certainly not exhaustive, but, if you are starting to go down the investor road, this book can help with getting the terminology and process in your mind before tackling the task in hand. 5 out of 5 for readability and basic understanding of the investor process. Regards
