Ok, follow-up post 13 days' after technology's recommendation. I got the book and I read it and I did not find the advice actionable. He interviews a bunch of vcs (and a few founders) but mostly vcs and you hear the same thing that you expect:
- Startups fail because they run out of money
- VC's like to invest in smart passionate entrepreneurs who are solving a personal problem who are not in it for the money.
- VC's like either big markets or great teams or both
- etc etc
Some of the interviews were great (Howard Morgan) but the problem with interviewing active vcs is that they can't talk about the stuff behind the scenes. Often founder's who have had successful exits have no such qualms.
