From the jacket flap
No voodoo rituals . . . No mumbo jumbo . . . Just the facts on finding the investors and the capital your business needs to prosper
The entrepreneurial road is a tough one to follow--full of setbacks, unforeseen perils, and the fear of all-too-possible failure. Your business needs capital to grow, but finding that capital can be difficult and stressful. You need straightforward advice, sensible insight, and reassurance that the process can work for you.
For fifteen years Brian Hill and Dee Power have assisted small and mid-sized companies with strategies for finding capital. They understand the venture capital world and why it seems confusing, contrary, and frustrating. Entrepreneurs worry that they won't be able to find the capital they need to prosper, that they will fall victim to an unfair deal with a shady partner, or that they will lose control of their business to their investors. This book addresses those concerns with straightforward advice and real answers.

This book showcases those results in the actual words of the venture capitalists themselves. In Inside Secrets to Venture Capital you will find a wide range of opinions and a wealth of candid comments to help make sense of this sometimes maddening process.
