Great book on due diligence

This is a great book on venture capital due diligence.

VENTURE CAPITAL: DUE DILIGENCE is my Investing Bible

For me as a professional consultant to startups and early-stage companies -- and a former successful CEO -- this book to be an excellent resource. I can readily share it with clients because although it's thorough and candid, it's not off-putting with technical jargon. It speaks to you, the reader, directly. If you're a Founder or CEO of a young company, this book will become your peephole into the hearts and minds of your current and prospective investors. This book delivers.

Very good treatment of key questions to ask

I think Mr. Camp does a nice job of organizing the key due diligence questions into logical groups (legal, financial, etc.) Indeed, I think a good exercise would be to turn the questions in the book into a template for use during due diligence. I disagree with the earlier comments that there is little value because of his use of secondary sources. I think the opposite...a well-referenced book is always valued. In fact, I'll be looking into some of the references myself! Overall, nicely done.

This book is a really great resource.

As a new entrant to the field of venture capital, I found this book extremely helpful. Anyone hoping to become a VC should definitely take a look.

One of the finest due diligence books I have read.

Justin Camp puts the whole due diligence process into a logical, easy to read, and concise format. I found it both informative and thought provoking. I believe this book would not only be helpful to venture capitalists but entrepreneurs can use it to prepare themselves and their companies to attract vc funding. The book should be a reference work for anyone looking to build or invest in a young company.
