Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most informed business people will know something about venture capital. However, much of the detail of what actually goes on when an investment is being made is unknown to most outsiders. This absence of knowledge means that much time and effort is often fruitlessly expended trying to secure venture capital from the wrong sources or by businesses that would be better off seeking different forms of funding. Venture Capital Funding clears some of the fog that surrounds how venture capital works. It illuminates the background processes that exist in venture capital businesses and dispels the myths. If you are thinking of using venture capital to develop your business it will enable you to understand the driving forces behind each stage of the investment process, and will equip you to deal with venture capitalists and other professionals involved. Highly practical and accessible, this book examines the following areas: what sort of businesses will be attractive to the different types of venture capitalist; the processes of investment; the particular targets of venture funds; the pressures on the venture capitalists themselves as individual investors. By understanding what venture capitalists want, what they are willing to invest in, and on what terms, you and your business will be one step closer to securing capital.

Book excerpt: The vast majority of businesses do not scale-up to their potential, despite the keen desire of the Entrepreneur to do so. Lack of Finance is one of the primary reasons for this. Providers of capital often do not find sufficient prospects which are ready to receive funding due to inadequate preparation and presentation by Entrepreneurs. The understanding of Venture Capital (VC) and how to go about receiving it is often incomplete, and sources of information are limited. The publications of “Start-Up to Scale-Up” are intended to partially bridge these gaps. This book provides information to the Entrepreneur on VC, practical tips on how to prepare to receive VC funding, review of the investment process, and an understanding of what the Venture Capitalist looks for when evaluating an investment. Keeping in mind the needs and constraints of the Entrepreneur the book is designed to be easy to read & understand. It seeks to equip the Entrepreneur with suggestions & formats for interaction with VC. Jargon has been minimized, accompanied with a free-flowing style of writing. The individual chapters (& overall publication) are short. The learnings should be at the back of the minds of Entrepreneurs when they interact with VC in future.
