My 1 paragraph summary:
Basic book about all things VC. Great for anyone who is completely new to the industry — how to talk about startups, pitch to VCs and evaluate companies through a VC lense.
I’m not fully summarising the book as there are a lot of basics in there and the book is essentially a summary in itself.
I would recommend it if you’re thinking about getting started in VC as the first book you pick up.
It covers:
- definition of VC, Growth Equity, venture debt
- how to get a job interview in VC, how to talk
- how to get started — who to follow and blog recommendations
- metrics which are important (ARR, churn, MRR, burn, DRR, etc)
- different ways to put a valuation on a company
