Learn the basics of Venture Capital as well as a dive into how Venture Capitalists invest. Every claim is sourced from professional articles, investors, or investing websites. We took the liberty of boiling down and organizing their ideas into one coherent whole. Our hope is that this guide will help demystify the industry for the common investor.

Hey Product Hunt! Long-time fan, first time launcher here. My GF said not to attempt any jokes, so I scrapped my first draft. I’m part of the team at Slice Capital, a freshly launched equity crowdfunding company. Our mission is to equalize access to startup investing for both investors and founders. While equity crowdfunding has given the 99% access to startup investing, most people still don’t take advantage of it. When we asked why, we kept hearing investors say they know what venture capitalists do, but not how they do it. That sounded like a knowledge gap that we could bridge. We dove into the depths of the internet and discovered there is a ton of content on the subject, but nothing that made sense of it all in an approachable way. That’s why we spent the past three months researching, writing, and editing this ebook. We hope you find it easy to read and informative at any level of experience. Stay tuned for a podcast covering the same topic (like a ‘How I Built This’ for venture capital). Thanks!

Haven't finished it yet, but the book seems really cool and full of a lot of really great info. The section about important metrics was especially helpful in my opinion!

Pros:

Informative, Helpful

Cons:

None so far
