This book is for entrepreneurs who want to realize their vision, want to build a major enterprise, want to change the world. To win, you need two things: cash and speed. You need to get the money and then run like crazy. To get the money, you may want to raise it from venture capital (VC) firms. But the reality is far fewer than 1 in 100 companies approaching VCs ever get to ""take the money."" So, the first section of this book provides a behind-the-scenes look at how VC firms work, and more importantly how they think. You'll get first-hand insight into what you can do to improve your chances and what to avoid that can doom your hopes. The second section of the book will help you ""run."" It covers almost every segment of start-up operations, from product development to financing to staffing to sales and marketing. Gerry Langeler's 30 years as a successful venture capitalist and entrepreneur who raised money from top VC firms, provides the secrets to help you achieve your dreams.

Entrepreneurs who dream of building the next Amazon, Facebook, or Google can take advantage of one of the most powerful economic engines the world has ever known: venture capital. To do so, you need to woo, impress, and persuade venture capitalists to take a risk on an unproven idea. That task is challenge enough. But choosing the right investor can be harder still. Even if you manage to get backing, you want your VC to be a partner, not some adversary who will undermine your vision in order to make a quick return. Jeffrey Bussgang is one of a few people who have played on both sides of this high-stakes game. By his early thirties, he had helped build two successful start-ups-one went public, the other was acquired. Now he draws on his experience and unique perspective on the "other side" as a venture capitalist helping entrepreneurs bring their dreams to fruition. Bussgang offers detailed insights, colorful stories, and practical advice gathered from his own experience as well as from interviews with dozens of the most successful players on both sides of the game, including Twitter's Jack Dorsey and LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman. He reveals how to get noticed, perfect a pitch, and negotiate a partnership that works for everyone. An insider's guide to the secrets of the world venture capital, Mastering the VC Game will prove invaluable for entrepreneurs seeking capital and successful partnerships.

What if you had the opportunity to be a startup investor in the next Facebook, Uber, Google or Airbnb? Now, you can invest in top startups and entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. For years, angel investing and venture capital have been behind closed doors with the same individuals and VC firms getting access to top deals. The majority of accredited investors had no idea how to get in... how to get access to these deals... until now. Kings Over Aces gives you an inside look at how you too can invest in startups and put your investment capital to work. We show you how to invest in startups from incubators like Y Combinator, 500 Startups, TechStars and AngelPad.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines, it's time to get in the game. Instead of hearing about that next big deal and how your friend made money because he invested "early in X," now is your time to profit from the astronomical rise in startup and VC investing. Entrepreneurs are ready to meet venture capitalists just like you. We discuss investing concepts like the Lean Startup method by Eric Ries, discuss how to beat investors from shows like ABC's "Shark Tank," and provide detailed analysis of startups metrics such as cash flow, revenue, burn rate, exponential growth and company valuations. In addition, we analyze startups from Angel List, which is a growing platform for investing under the SEC's JOBS Act. You too can be the next billionaire startup investor.
