Venture Capital Deal Terms: A guide to negotiating and structuring venture capital transactions Paperback – August 1, 2016

A good book on venture capital, although highly technical

This is a solid book and I like it a lot. It is very straight to the point, and its awesome conciseness is in sharp contrast with the other famous book in the area, the Venture Deals. Venture Deals adopts a more colloquial style of writing, which may have made it more approachable for new readers. I read Venture Deals before this one, and I believe Venture Deals offered me a good general understanding in this area, which probably enabled me to have a smooth reading journey of this Deal Terms. I think this Deal Terms book is very useful in consolidate and solidify the knowledge in this area. Thanks to its refreshing conciseness, it will also function very well as a reference book.

The all new updated edition of Venture Capital Deal Terms is indeed what it says in the subtitle: a guide to negotiating and structuring venture capital transactions. The book is comprehensive and manages to both give a clear overview of how VC deals are structured, as well as taking you through every single aspect of a term sheet. Using a case study the book gives an overview of the various stages a typical startup will go through on its way to becoming a mature company. It then gives an example of a term sheet and continues to explain each and every single term you could come across. Finally the book contains some templates you could use.All in all a must-have for anyone looking to complete a VC transaction.

Like the book a lot! To me this is a must read on understanding VC deal making. Goes much beyond the typical VC handbooks I have read!

This book is very practical and well written, easy to understand. Highly recommend to entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to know more about how a VC deal is structured. The authors truly think for entrepreneurs. The book provides great insights on what terms are important and negotiation tips.

Great book. I really enjoyed the author and style of writing, along with the information inside (obviously)

Great read with helpful tips & tricks on deal-making re venture capital transactions!

Mandatory reading for any entrepreneur before entering into negotiations with a VC
