Many people would love to pick the brains of a venture capitalist to uncover exactly what gets their juices (and checks) flowing. Some books promise such advice from the recipient's point of view, but rarely is the story told from a financier's. As its title promises, however, Confessions of a Venture Capitalist does just that. Ruthann Quindlen, a one-time investment banker now with Silicon Valley's Institutional Venture Partners, lays it on the line in this revealing glimpse inside her world. Short, humorous chapters make it an easy read--a fact that might lead some to suspect that specifics are lacking. But details are there, as evidenced in a section called "Less Is More, or Subtraction by Addition." "Rather than coming to us with just themselves and their bright idea, they believe we want to see business types as part of the initial management team," she writes. "Often, we like the technology entrepreneur and the plan, but end up in the awkward position of not being able to back the business types.... Focus instead on your idea and why customers will love it and how you and only you can make it happen." Such suggestions should prove useful to entrepreneurs, and anyone else interested in today's venture-capital economy. --Howard Rothman

Lacks concrete facts.......2007-09-30

The introduction lists the two goals: The first is "to help entrepreneurs bypass some of the common mistakes that I have observed when they start and build a company.... The second to help mainstream America understand more about the venture capital economy - and the magic that is Silicon Valley."

This book fails to provide value to an entrepreneur. Quindlen provides a sparse collection of common mistakes that any 18 year old should already have heard. She describes a number of investment scenarios to show common mistakes made by founders but provides such little detail that no useful knowledge comes through. The book strongly lacks concrete facts and is devoid of analysis. This leaves an overall (and incorrect) impression that VC don't actually know how to quantify anything but instead use only their emotions in decision making. Quindlen fails to show the value added from VC firms which is a real disappointment since she is from one.

Quindlen does make some head-way with her second goal of helping mainstream America. The lack of facts in the book may make it an easier read for someone curious about VC. However, her goal was to describe the "venture capital economy." VC background is covered, but knowledge about the VC economy is ignored. This is largely out of the book's scope.

Making the investment scenarios more concrete by incorporating concrete facts to remove the emotional feel from the VCs decisions would do wonders for this book. Also, re-writing the books goals and scope to reflect its nature as background reading for the general population would more accurately portray what is contained within.

Read this book IF you want to be a "Serious" Entrepreneur.......2005-05-03

Recently I read that, according to a report by Staples *, the "Percentage of American adults who say they have an idea for a new product or innovation: 42." (* Office Solutions, March/ April 2004, p. 10)

Going on the report stated that the "Top reasons for not getting an idea to the drawing board: not enough money (75 percent), not knowing where to start, ..."

If you're in that 75%, then reading Confessions of a Venture Capitalist will be an enlightening experience.

Ruthann Quindlen, a one-time investment banker now with Silicon Valley's Institutional Venture Partners, lays it on the line in this revealing glimpse inside the mind of a Venture Capitalist.

The book is divided into 11 sections, comprising 36 short and entertaining chapters.

Section 1: Life in the Bubble
A short history on life in Silicon Valley.

Section 2: People
"People Are to a Business What Location Is to a Restaurant" (need I say more)

Section 3: Markets
"Find Markets the Size of Texas"

Section 4: Business Models
"Faster, Better, Cheaper" versus "Brave New World"
Business models function as a blueprint on how the company will make money.

Section 5: Venture Capitalists
Stages to funding process and the role of Venture Capitalists.

Section 6: Entrepreneurs
Common mistakes and other words of wisdom for entrepreneurs.

Section 7: The Fine Line between Bizarre and Brilliant

Section 8: The Dumbest Decision I Ever Made

Section 9: Valuation and More
"You Can Have a Small Piece of a Large Pie or a Large Piece of Nothing"

Section 10: A View from the Trenches

Section 11: Five Short Years to a Revolution

If you're serious about transforming your ideas into market reality, you'll most likely need external funding from investors. "Confessions of a Venture Capitalist" will help you gain insight into how investors think. With this knowledge you'll certainly be able to put your best foot forward when asking for money.

Not Quite Appropriate for the Post-Bubble Age.......2005-01-15

As a General Partner at Institutional Venture Partners (IVP), Ruthann Quindlen has seen her share of entrepreneurial ventures succeed - or fall by the wayside. In this book, she describes the world of venture capital as it relates to both the investor and entrepreneur. Most striking are the number of topics discussed in barely over 200 pages of writing. At 36 chapters, this book covers each subject briefly, yet thoroughly, using examples from the "real-world", rather than droll academic jargon. Its rapid-fire structure reads easily and is useful as a quick-reference tool.

Unfortunately, the subject-matter strongly reflects the ideology of Silicon Valley throughout the dot-com bubble - shoot first, ask questions later (profitability can wait). Quindlen accurately identifies the Internet stock-market bubble as a fragile and possibly short-lived phenomenon. At the edge of her writing, however, lies the familiar overly optimistic attitude that drove capital investment into startups with no hope of achieving a sustainable business. Her examples are refreshing, yet nearly all focused on internet technologies that are hardly representative of all entrepreneurs. Many of the lessons are still applicable and important to any fledgling company seeking venture capital investment, but others should be revisited in light of changing attitudes toward the "internet paradigm".

The book is structured well, covering 11 primary subject areas including market identification, business model creation, start-up valuation, and decision making. Each subject area contains a handful of example-laden chapters, guaranteed to help the budding entrepreneur avoid the common mistakes of countless startups. And if providing helpful information for investment-seeking entrepreneurs is the primary goal, examining the life and occupation of a venture capitalist is the essential secondary component. Quindlen discusses her best and worst decisions as an investor, and provides a chapter dedicated to the role of women in the heavily male-dominated venture capital community.

Overall, the content is broad, and many examples are somewhat "touchy-feely". Alone, Confessions of a Venture Capitalist is not useful as a standalone guide for the industry, but this is not its intent. As a primer text, this book is ideal - budding entrepreneurs and seasoned veterans alike will find the examples both useful and enjoyable. Alongside it, however, should sit an arsenal of reference guides focusing on business plan development, financing, and valuation.

Read the chapter titles and Skip.........2004-02-23

If you have had even a minor exposure to startups (worked in one, or a friend has worked in one, and told you several stories), this book will seem like "Obvious, duh!". There are a few interesting points, but very little in the form of enlightening/revealing anecdotes.

The book is funny to read after the Internet-bubble has burst. Ruthann is busy trying to say how venture capitalists are most valuable for a company's success, and how the Internet is going to transform everything and how the "new economy" companies need to be valued, etc.

You are allowed to spend only half an hour on this book. :-)

Stay Away From This Book..........2003-08-01

Well, another reveiwer here wrote exactly what I felt reading this book. But this book is so bad I wanted to write a review myself. First of all, the stuff mentioned here is hadly any confessions, they are confused jargon written by a confused person wanting to make some money by cashing on the buzz created by the tech boom and VC world. Second, the book shows us nothing about the high-stakes world of start-up financing, you wont understand how VCs value companies or how they try and build companies. IVP is an old firm and a respected one, reading that the author is from that firm you might get carried away into believing that she knows a lot about the VC world. Nothing! a much better choice to spend your hard earned money would be "Done Deals" or "E-Boys". those books give a better account of the VC worlds.

You can read this book in 30 minutes and you end up learning nothing. Neither from the perspective of the VC (investor) or from the perspective of an entrepreneur. There is one hilarious chapter in the book where the author has to enquire about one of her portfolio companies progress. the only intelligent question she could come up with is "is there any momemtum is sales?" thats all. nothing more, so you dont get to understand what VC look in entrepreneurs, you dont get to understnad how VCs add value to startups, you dont get to understand how companies are valued, you dont get to understand how VC do their exits, basically, you just dont get to understand anything that the books claims to impart you. Nothing, dont spend a cent on this book.

All London, like Tout Paris and All New York before it, is bound to become a "must-have" for all designers, architects, collectors, and people with an eye for taste. David and Patricia Lown have canvassed London for only the finest things. The book is an easily-readable guide to all that is wonderful about London.

Book Description

M. E. GRANT is a pseudonym for Gard E. Norberg, and refers to his emigrant status. A Swede by birth, and a dedicated environmentalist, he has been a regular contributor to the British monthly, The Ecologist, and one of his essays written for that magazine was recently included in Visions Across the Americas, a collection of essays by mostly American writers - including such well-known authors as Gore Vidal, Isaac Asimov, Garrison Keillor, Maya Angelou, Ray Bradbury, Alice Walker, and Martin Luther King Jr. There is a saying in Swedish that, loosely translated, means "You chastise the one you love", and 'YANKEE GO HOME - But Please Take Me With You' is an hilariously funny critique of some of the more egregious manifestations of 'the American way of life'. But, as the title indicates, most foreigners critical of the United States would give almost anything for the privilege of living here. The 83-year old author owns some property in Costa Rica, but he and his American-born wife spend most of their time in a condo in Dania Beach, the Florida town that was founded by Danish immigrants, and which this year celebrates its centennial as the oldest city in Broward County.

Book Description

In the aftermath of the 1910 Mexican Revolution, Mexican and U.S. political leaders, business executives, and ordinary citizens shaped modern Mexico by making industrial capitalism the key to upward mobility into the middle class, material prosperity, and a new form of democracy-consumer democracy. Julio Moreno describes how Mexico's industrial capitalism between 1920 and 1950 shaped the country's national identity, contributed to Mexico's emergence as a modern nation-state, and transformed U.S.-Mexican relations.

According to Moreno, government programs and incentives were central to legitimizing the postrevolutionary government as well as encouraging commercial growth. Moreover, Mexican nationalism and revolutionary rhetoric gave Mexicans the leverage to set the terms for U.S. businesses and diplomats anxious to court Mexico in the midst of the dual crises of the Great Depression and World War II. Diplomats like Nelson Rockefeller and corporations like Sears Roebuck achieved success by embracing Mexican culture in their marketing and diplomatic pitches, while those who disregarded Mexican traditions were slow to earn profits.

Moreno also reveals how the rapid growth of industrial capitalism, urban economic displacement, and unease caused by World War II and its aftermath unleashed feelings of spiritual and moral decay among Mexicans that led to an antimodernist backlash by the end of the 1940s.

A Must read for everyone..........1999-07-21

This book brought back many fond memories of my youth. Back in the pre-Castro years I had many Americans friends who lived in Cuba. The list of essays by John Parker presented in this book are very informative. They relay the romance, humor and wonderful Zest for life of the Cuban people before the tragedy Castro's revolution. I have enjoyed reading this book. I will never forget my American--Cuban friends.

Nostalgic short stories about life in Cuba pre-Castro -.......1998-05-11

A must-read book for anyone who has ever traveled or lived in Cuba in the pre-Castro years; as American "colonistas" (as we were called) I returned to my heartfelt memories as a child who grew up as an American living in Cuba. The personal vignettes, as described by John Parker, celebrate the way we ALL should remember Cuba for its customs, traditions, and -- most importantly -- how those young, patriotic men gave their lives for their attempt to "free Cuba" from the dictatorship of Fidel Castro. This book has been donated for the "Brothers to the Rescue" (Hermanos al Rescate) effort towards the continuing effort to see our return to Cuba someday.

Book Description

Nothing makes Canadians angrier than the sense that they are being bullied by the United States. From the time of the American Revolution, anti-American feeling has been a defining part of Canadian life. And yet, as J.L. Granatstein argues in this articulate and opinionated exploration of Anti-Americanism in Canada, the United States has been too easy a target for our animosities and insecurities.

Yankee Go Home? traces the winding course of these anti-American feelings over two centuries - from the United Empire Loyalists who fled north to escape unbridled republicanism, through the early twentieth century when the barons of business were determined to keep out U.S. competition, to the post-war period when Canadian nationalists took to the cry. Granatstein maintains that what began as a justifiable fear of invasion eventually became a tool of the economic and political elites bent on preserving their power.

Customer Reviews:

Interesting read; balanced treatment.......1998-07-30

Prof. Granatstein has performed an enormous public service to his countrymen by writing this book. Too bad most Canadians will never read it. Instead, I imagine that the majority of readers will be U.S. expats trying to understand the insecurity, paranoia and passive self-righteousness of some of the Canadian public and most of the Canadian media and political elite when it comes to matters concerning the U.S.

Granatstein provides a thorough history of anti-Americanism, which is rooted in the expulsion of British loyalists from the U.S. colonies during the Revolutionary War to the inhospitable reaches of Upper Canada (now Ontario). Events such as the U.S. "invasion" of Canada during its War of 1812 with British aggressors have entered Canadian mythology as naked American aggression toward peaceful Canucks. This aggression and disrespect for the sovereignty of other nations, of course, is a fundamental tenet of U.S. policy in the eyes of many Canadians. ! In reality, of course, the U.S. enetered Canada during that war to extinguish British forces, harbored by Canadian colonists, that were making periodic destructive forays into New York and Vermont.

Granatstein also lucidly explains the great 20th-century British "betrayal" of Canada during WW-I when the bankrupt Brits were forced to turn to the U.S. for men, materiel and money in order to defeat the Germans. This essentially pushed Canada into the arms of the U.S. as America became the defacto world power in the wake of the war. This "betrayal" underpins most modern Canadian antipathy of America. It is interesting that it appears an article of faith among modern Canadians that the U.S. revolution against Britain was fundamentally illegitimate and the root of much evil in world today.

This list goes on and on, and Granatstein is steely in his objectivity. After listening to the shrill knee-jerk denunciations of the U.S. that are staples of daily Ca! nadian media and political discourse, one can turn to this ! book to understand their genesis. It is especially sad in these days of continuing friction between central and western English-speaking Canada and its Francophone and maritime provinces that Canadians conveniently seek an external locus of control on which to blame their problems.

This is a fine and wonderful country; if only its citizens would exorcise their insecurities and move forward. Reading this book with an open mind and unflinching introspection would be a productive move in that direction. It takes much more effort and honesty for one to read this book and reappraise Canadian bigotry toward America than it does to turn on Jerry Springer and indulge in sweeping, facile generalizations about U.S. society.

"YGH" should be required reading at the CBC, Globe and Mail, and in parliament.

But this book is endlessly fascinating and well produced.
The Author has taken the time to study the County and provide striking photographs from the past which he then juxtaposes with a contempary photograph, taken by himself, of the same view.
It is amazing how much one City can hang on to it's past and change enormously at once. If you have known or know Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland then you must have this book!
