1.0 out of 5 stars Psycho-Babble meets the world of Finance, September 7, 2000

This review is from: Financing the New Venture (Paperback)
"... make a commitment to relax and surrender to the reality that the emerging business capital market is limitless and that this book can show you how to get ready to receive your fair piece of the capital pie." pg. 39

I think the above quote speaks for itself. I bought this book together with "Fundamentals of Venture Capital" and "Start-Up" and read all three. Compared to the others, this book is full of inane, unsubstantiated, or simply mystifying concepts (many of which are trademarked).

I really don't know enough about raising capital to state that this book is nonsense. But if there is valuable information in this book, the author has done a remarkable job of hiding it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guaranteed Success, May 1, 2000
This review is from: Financing the New Venture (Paperback)
Mark Long has completed over 700 successful securities offerings. In this phenomenal book he reveals his 10 step process for raising money for your new venture without credit or collateral. Mark's approach is practically guaranteed to get you the money you want because of his strategic approach and in-depth analysis of your options. Rather than just focusing on raising money, Mark starts off by explaining what it really takes to create a pheonomenal business. By designing success into your business plan, you can attract capital rather than chase it. .

Mark's approach is radically different than the traditional way entrepreneurs try to raise money. He explains a systematic and methodical process that has proven to be wildly successful for his clients. You won't find a more practical guide for developing and refining your step-by-step money raising process

1.0 out of 5 stars Misled by all the positive reviews, August 15, 2000
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Financing the New Venture (Paperback)
I bought this book based upon the positive reviews I read on this site. I was sorely disappointed. This book is inane and borders on the insulting to the informed reader. Worse, it is misleading to the uninformed reader. Pity the poor entrepreneur who approaches a professional investor spouting the trade-marked nonsense espoused in this book.
