I was skeptical when I first picked up this book. A lot of books like this I've read in the past are either too broad on the subject or state the need to have a lot of money to invest to the project, but this isn't one of those books.The Art of Startup Fundraising was informative and told me many things I wish I had known sooner. I'd commend this book to any entrepreneur who is just starting their business and looking to raise the funds to do so. It aids in crafting an sustainable long termI feel like Alejandro did a phenomenal job of capturing some of the most important aspects of entrepeneurship. This guide really portrays some strong objectives that a starting-out entrepeneur might look to achieve, and provides the reader with a few tips & tricks to do so. By creating a product first, and seeking investors & financing later, you really can show control over your product and have a proven, solid object that works. Overall, I felt like the book was a great read, and would
Great source for founders looking to raise financing.
Over 60% of startups fail due to lack of access to financing within the first 4 years. I find this book to be a great guide for entrepreneurs in order to avoid being placed in that bucket and to learn inside and out the game of startup fundraising.
This book is very helpful on many levels. No matter if you aim to fund around 10.000 € or go big and try to fund over 10 m €, it continuously guides you through the process. I am an entrepreneur myself and if i would have had this book in my hands 4 years ago, my start up would have been directed in a different more focused way. I recommend everyone to read it, no matter if you open your own coffee shop, or want to become the next Mark Zuckerberg.
I felt that this book was written in a language that is clear and concise. It's easy to understand and makes some parts of fundraising (which for me is quite difficult) that are actually pretty complex seem much more clear. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take on the task of fundraising. Convincing other people to part with their money is not the easiest thing in the world and when you have a good cause to raise money, you have to do it in a way that appeals to them and makes them
Alejandro is a leader in his field, and with this book it shows. No one knows more about startups and how to finance them than he does. The Art of Startup Fundraising is easy to read, and explains everything you'll need to know to get started. Even experienced entrepreneurs will find some great pieces of advice here. A must for those looking to start their own business. 5 stars!
