Review

"""Combating the often elusive nature of understanding private investing and venture capital, Andrew Sherman has prepared in one reference source a primer that demystifies in simple, layman’s terms how this process actually works. A must-have for any first-time entrepreneur in search of capitalizing a start-up enterprise.""

-- Julia Spicer, Executive Director, Mid-Atlantic Venture Association

""Kudos to Andrew Sherman and his editors. Rarely does a second edition of a best-selling primer widely improve on its original. But Sherman's new Raising Capital does that grandly. For anyone embarking on raising money -- for the first time or the tenth time -- this is a must-have tool. It's the next best thing to having Andrew Sherman himself at your elbow.""
