    About this audiobook

    What are venture capitalists saying about your startup behind closed doors? And what can you do to influence that conversation?

    If Silicon Valley is the greatest wealth-generating machine in the world, Sand Hill Road is its humming engine. That's where you'll find the biggest names in venture capital, including famed VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, where lawyer-turned-entrepreneur-turned-VC Scott Kupor serves as managing partner.

    Whether you're trying to get a new company off the ground or scale an existing business to the next level, you need to understand how VCs think. In Secrets of Sand Hill Road, Kupor explains exactly how VCs decide where and how much to invest, and how entrepreneurs can get the best possible deal and make the most of their relationships with VCs. Kupor explains, for instance:

    • Why most VCs typically invest in only one startup in a given business category.
    • Why the skill you need most when raising venture capital is the ability to tell a compelling story.
    • How to handle a "down round," when startups have to raise funds at a lower valuation than in the previous round.
    • What to do when VCs get too entangled in the day-to-day operations of the business.
    • Why you need to build relationships with potential acquirers long before you decide to sell.

    Filled with Kupor's firsthand experiences, insider advice, and practical takeaways, Secrets of Sand Hill Road is the guide every entrepreneur needs to turn their startup into the next unicorn.

      It's a pretty illuminating book for newbies to VC. The book claims it's one of the spells that opens the door to understanding the opaque world of VC. The book does exactly that. The term sheet exercise and call take exercises are particularly informative for rookies to fund raising.

      This book gives great insight to the VC world! Having had some professional experience with Startups and VCs it was pretty easy to digest and understand, although I had to stop at times and google certain terminology and ayryonyms. If you're interested in the VC and Startup world it's narratives and easy pace will be good for you, just don't worry if you don't understand everything. It's worth the listen.
