Editorial Review of How to Raise Capital : Techniques and Strategies for Financing and Valuing your Small Business
The entrepreneur's step-bystep guide to venture capital--where to find it, how to secure it, and what to do with it
Fewer than 40 percent of entrepreneurs seeking new business funding each year actually get that funding. How to Raise Capital improves those odds, providing prospective as well as current business owners with the knowledge they need to prepare an effective loan proposal, locate a suitable investor, negotiate and close the deal, and more. The all-star team of entrepreneurial experts behind How to Raise Capital gives readers top-level educational theory with hands-on, real-world knowledge. This thorough examination of the inner workings of the venture capital industry explores:
- Resources available to entrepreneurs, from SBA loans to angel investors
- Proven strategies for identifying and approaching equity sources
- Characteristics of a "superdeal"--from the investor's perspective
Customer Reviews of How to Raise Capital : Techniques and Strategies for Financing and Valuing your Small Business
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Mostly fluff
Review: I've been reading a lot of business books to get information on how to grow my business. Of all those books, this one is mostly fluff. Many of the statements are vague and ambigious. There isn't much for solid advice. Buzzwords are used everywhere (Do you want a "value-added investor" funding your business?) Numbers and statistics are nonexistant other than a few graphs that look like they were sketched by hand. The author tends to throw lots of questions at you to think about, but doesn't give any advice on the topics.
There were a few bits of useful information on how other people will look at your business and value it, but it's not worth reading through the whole book for them. They could have been summarized in a bulleted list on a few sheets of paper.
If you're looking for a good book on how to obtain venture capital, check out Venture Capital Handbook, by David Gladstone.

Review Summary: Good Book for Entrepreneurs!
Review: Thie book gives good resources available to entrepreneurs that want to start their own business. A book you should also check out is "The Wal-Mart Way" by Don Soderquist, it gives the inside story of the success of the world's largest company.
