My Book Launches Today ~ The Venture Fund Blueprint!
Very excited to announce that my new book, The Venture Fund Blueprint, is officially out today, December 13th! You can order it on Amazon here.
Building on our work with hundreds of fund managers, we truly enjoyed the writing process. We took stock of the important questions fund managers asked us over the years and distilled them into step-by-step guides. We filled the book's pages with answers to building pitch decks, running operations, and fundraising.
Here is what some people have kindly said about the book so far ~ we are humbled and grateful for the overwhelming support:
"This is such an important book for venture fund managers. As we create our future with the technology being built today, we need a diversity of talent and intellect to fully realize it. This book empowers the next generation of venture capitalists investing in that future."
— Danielle Strachman, Founder and General Partner of 1517 Fund
“The business of venture capital is more than doing deals. The Venture Fund Blueprint is packed with approachable insights, practical actions, and insider guidance, all illustrated with quotes and frameworks from successful fund managers.”
— Timothy Young, Founder, Limited Partner, and President of Dropbox
"Venture capital can be a very opaque industry—many times you don’t know what you don’t know. This book lets you see behind the curtain with stories, samples, exercises, logical guidance, and practical approaches for launching and growing a VC fund of lasting shareholder value."
— Tracy Gray, Founder and Managing Partner of The 22 Fund
