Overview
This book is written specifically for aspiring technology entrepreneurs to encourage and coach them to effectively think in strategic terms and consider the financial, strategic and decision-making aspects of the business in a holistic manner by examining the various issues a typical technology entrepreneur will face from "Incubation to Exit." Topics covered include strategic/financial planning, fund-raising, negotiations and corporate governance. The approach of this book is not to provide all the answers or a blueprint for success. This book is not an instruction manual, rather, it is mentoring/coaching instrument intended to be thought-provoking and enlightening. The objective is to provide effective mentoring to Tech entrepreneurs so they may avoid the dangers inherent in business start-ups in general and dealing within the often time treacherous realm of venture capital in particular. I strongly believe any technology entrepreneur purchasing this book will derive value far exceeding the book\'s purchasing cost. This book will serve as an excellent reference for anyone interested in mentoring themselves or for non-tech entrepreneurs as well who share similar fundamental issues and challenges of their Tech entrepreneur counterparts.
