Description

The founder and CEO of one of Silicon Valley’s most successful companies pulls back the curtain on the startup fundraising process in this essential playbook. Mastering the art of fundraising is key to every new company’s success. But the process itself is too often shrouded in mystery. From networking and building supportive relationships to crafting the perfect pitch and knowing when to finalize a deal—it can be a confusing and complex web. Opening a fundraising round is one of the most daunting moments in the lifecycle of a young startup. But even as tech insiders trade tips, too many first-time founders are left in the dark or sorting through conflicting advice. Ryan Breslow’s definitive guide to startup fundraising provides overdue, much needed clarity. Drawing on years of experience at the industry’s highest levels, he dispels common misconceptions and distills essential wisdom on every facet of the process. This compelling, accessible, and candid primer is a must-read for first-time founders and startup veterans alike. They will find much to learn from Breslow’s indispensable guide to the nuts and bolts of successful fundraising. Read more

  • Little pearls of wisdom
Format: Paperback
What strikes you first when you hold the book is how thin it is. What wisdom could such a small book impart, you may wonder. You will be surprised. The first thing you notice about the book is that it comes from a place of authenticity and humility. First advice Ryan gives is - you have to let your authentic self shine and not take anything at face value including the advice given by him. The second thing that struck me was the focus on building relationship. Every action and outcome during the fundraising affects the relationships with the investors. Once the book sets up the foundation, it gets right into the details. The book has very practical tips on how to build the momentum, how to find prospects and most importantly which people to say no to. The book is targeted towards seed to early stage founders but some of the tips could be used by the later stage founder also (however, you should have become good at funds raising by now.) If you are on the fence of buying the book, consider the investment you are putting in it. Unlike most books that make you spend 6 hours reading a book for what could be conveyed in 10 minutes, this book will take hardly 30 minutes to finish and you can get back to specific chapter when you need to. Overall considering the ROIC, I found this book to be very useful. ... show more

  • Best book on startup fundraising
Format: Paperback
This book is probably the only book founders need to get to fundraise for your startup. It is audaciously candid, incredibly actionable, and filled with love for fellow travelers on the entrepreneur journey. I highly recommend it to any founders who want to master the fundraising process!

  • This book has made me more money than the sum total of every book I've ever read
Format: Paperback
This will make you an order of magnitude better fundraiser, especially if you run a pre-seed/stage stage business. FULL STOP! Imagine spending $11 on a book and walking away with millions in value? Sounds crazy right.... well Ryan and his book "fundraising" have done the impossible by doing just that How do I know this book is legit? I've raised $6+ million for my company off the back of this advice! ... show more

  • A short but definitely useful guide to fundraising
Format: Kindle
It is a good guide to fundraising, but it assumes that you can easily build a network of investors. It’s not so easy if you’re not in silicone valley or USA. Probably Ryan doesn’t know how to build it the other way and it wasn’t hard for him to do it, but for a lot of other people this can look like an impossible task. Otherwise, a good guide for fundraising. ... show more

  • Great overview of fundraising prep and process.
Format: Kindle
I really liked the overview of the process and how to manage it. Also, what I should have for expectations from investors and how I should think about who I invest my time in. In short, great overview with some really practical tips.

  • Super simple and clear

More than any book or blog post that I’ve read on this topic, the author makes the fundraising process so crystal clear and easy to follow. I’ve raised round up to series B and the steps here are spot on!
