9781857885514: Angels, Dragons and Vultures: How to Tame Your Investors...And Not Lose Your Company

Synopsis

In this provocative new book, discover how venture capitalists run their own businesses and the ways they can best help you run yours, as well as the alternatives to venture capital and how to make a successful exit without losing your shirt. Angels, Dragons and Vultures draws on the experience of mistakes made by entrepreneurs - some of their own making, and some into which they were cajoled by their investors. Simon Acland shares the lessons of these mistakes and his personal expertise to help other entrepreneurs gain capital investment and professional assistance that is both lucrative and emotionally satisfying.
