Yet there really is no definitive guide to venture capital deals.  Nobody understands this better than authors Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson.  For more than seventeen years, they've been involved in hundreds of venture  capital financings, and now, with Venture Deals, they share their experiences  in this field with you.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Inspired by a series of blog posts created by the authors  after a particularly challenging deal, this reliable resource demystifies the  venture capital financing process and helps you gain a practical perspective  of this dynamic discipline.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Whether you're an experienced or aspiring entrepreneur, venture  capitalist, or lawyer who partakes in these particular types of deals, you  can benefit from the insights found throughout this book.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Engaging and informative, Venture Deals skillfully outlines the essential  elements of the venture capital term sheet-from terms related to economics to  terms related to control. Feld and Mendelson strive to give a balanced view  of the particular terms along with the strategies to getting to a fair deal.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  In addition to examining the nuts and bolts of the term sheet,  Venture Deals also introduces you to the various participants in the process,  discusses how fundraising works, reveals how VC firms operate, and describes  how to apply different negotiating tactics to your deals. You'll also gain  valuable insights into several common legal issues most startups face and, as  a bonus, discover what a typical letter of intent to acquire your company  looks like.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  While it would be desirable to do venture capital deals with a simple agreement  on price, a handshake, and a short legal agreement, this rarely happens.  Venture Deals reveals how venture financings really work, and will save you a  remarkable amount of time and money in your journey to create an amazing  company.","brand":"Instructional Systems [Aubrey J.
