The Business of Venture Capital

About this book

Learn the venture capital process and industry from the inside-out

In Building Value: The Business of Venture Capital, renowned professor and venture capital (VC) firm partner Simon Barnes delivers an easy-to-read guide to the often-mysterious world of venture capital and how entrepreneurs and venture capitalists should engage with each other to arrive at constructive start-up investment deals. In the book, you'll discover why successful entrepreneurial finance is more about behaviour than it is about numbers. You'll learn why VC is a people business, first and foremost, and why effectively aligning the interests of funders and entrepreneurs is so important.

You'll also find:

  • Insights drawn from the author's 25 years' experience backing and building start-ups in the UK, EU, and US
  • A holistic view of the venture capital industry that focuses on building value
  • A comprehensive discussion of the entire VC process, from negotiating the deal to helping build a successful venture-backed business

Perfect for students in MBA programs, Building Value is also a can't-miss resource for venture capitalists, entrepreneurs raising capital for the first time, professional fund managers, and professionals and entrepreneurs participating in incubator or accelerator programmes.
