Long-held secrets of the world's most elite VC investors revealed! Whether you're an investor, entrepreneur, or career-focused business professional, developing a venture capitalist (VC) mindset will give you the edge on the competition every time-but VCs traditionally operate in a corner of finance cloaked in obscurity and secrecy. Now, Breaking into Venture draws the curtain on this exclusive club, providing priceless insights into how its members think and invest. This groundbreaking guide levels the playing field by outlining how the industry actually works, as well as the 9 fundamental principles of thinking like a successful VC, providing everything you need to navigate the rapidly changing technology landscape. By learning how VCs think, you'll unlock your own potential, whether you're looking to invest like a pro, develop and launch a successful business, or create the career of your dreams. Breaking into Venture covers every angle, including: * The three keys to success in venture capital: accessing great investments, analyzing which ones to support, and adding value post-investment * How to build a relevant network from scratch * The importance of building a "narrative" that communicates who you are, why you're relevant, what you're looking for, and how you can support your investments * How to identify limitations and biases when choosing investments * The "5 Ts" of how VCs evaluate companies: team, technology, TAM, terms, and timing This game-changing guide democratizes the VC world by showing the ropes to those who aren't already part of the "in crowd," aren't already wealthy, or don't even know where Sand Hill Road is. With Breaking into Venture, you have everything you need to leverage the VC mindset for investing or career success.
