Title: Another flavor from the valley
Product review: I must say I was surprised when I read this book. I finished the book in two sittings and I only put it down because I was too sleepy to complete it the first time. As someone who's been doing the VC rounds for a couple of months, the message I heard was a different spin on what I thought VCs looked for in an investment. The founders in my company were once asked by a top VC why they started a company? The answer was to make a lot of money. I never liked the answer then and after reading this book I'm sure that VCs don't like it either. There is, there must be, something more than money. If you're not in it for the long haul then you're not likely to succeed. Having drive is great, but it only takes you so far. Do you have a passion for your business? If you do, you're not guaranteed success. If you don't, you are guaranteed failure. Also recommended, eboys.
