"The Authoritative Guide to Venture Capital in Silicon Valley" according to Andreas Ramos. I've been in Silicon Valley for twenty years; I've worked at several dozen startups; I'm now with a venture funding group from China. Mahendra Ramsinghani's book is far away the most authoritative overview of how venture capital works. He uncovers how VCs get their money from investors (LPs) and their motivations and goals.

I hardly ever review anything on Amazon, but this is one that I had to submit. There are many good/great books on Venture Capital, but this is the most comprehensive. There is a very good amount of technical information that you can learn from immediately. On top of these technical sections, there is so much history in this book and excerpts and stories that are just fascinating. It's broken into sections that makes it extremely easy to navigate - while it's structured to be best read from start to finish, you can jump around if you're already familiar with certain sections. Overall, I recommend this book as high as possible for any. N. Naik said This book is amazing. It gives an overview of the entire VC. I wish, I had purchased this book during my MBA coursework. At that time, I struggled to get a comprehensive overview of the VC industry and had to refer to many books and articles. This book is amazing. It gives an overview of the entire VC industry in a very easy to understand language. It covers everything from raising a venture fund to sourcing investments to negotiating a termsheet. Its a boon for a beginner like me. The book is easy to read with lot of examples/ real life experience of the industry veterans.
