Overview

Despite the outsized importance of venture capital, the inner workings remain hidden. Venture is still a mentor-led industry and it is an industry where you have to do a lot of self-education--you have to learn by doing, and you have to get up to speed quickly. Until now. Author William Lin spent over a decade in venture capital, starting in an entry-level position, helping to start a leading VC firm from scratch, and eventually becoming managing partner. In The VC Field Guide, Lin shares his unique framework, the Venture Capital Investment Framework, to help any venture capitalist, entrepreneur, or investor make better startup investment decisions, quicker. Lin delivers an incisive and practical handbook for the world of venture capital. You'll learn about the industry, how to break into it, and discover the art of investing in startups, and more, including: how VC deals are analyzed, vetted, and made; which questions experienced and successful venture capital investors ask startup founders when making investment decisions; the venture capital mindset that dominates the thinking of the most prominent venture capital investors; the best ways to begin a career in venture capital and tips on building your career; key differences between multi-stage and boutique firms; and the different factors VCs use to evaluate early-stage versus late-stage companies.
