Andy Klein's honest and inside view of how the world of big money brings start ups to the rest of us for investment is entertaining and enlightening. This is a must read for any investor, entrepreneur, or business executive who wants to see where his money really goes in the IPO process. No wonder banks, lawyers, and market making brokers are getting really rich while the IPO investor and the start up company themselves get the smaller cut. This book is simply great for really understanding how the street gets to much money for being the middle man between you and the company you want to invest in. Also, I think Andy gives us a glimpse of the future of IPOs and investing. Using the internet to cut out all the waste in the IPO process and get companies and investors lined up with each other for that initial offering is simply awesome for all of us. It will give all of us the same opportunities that only a few of the rich and privileged insiders have now. This book is great. Give it a try.

This is a great book. It explains Mr. Klein's very innovative concepts of venture capital and the road he traveled to come to the point of Wit Capital. It gives a person hope for raising capital for his/her business without going public. WallStreet.com delves into the interesting world of venture capital, an arena which few know about, and less understand. If you are interested in investments of any type, or in the vision of a genius entrepreneur, this book is a MUST read!

In a world where Internet IPO's are taken for granted the books describe the reality on how hard it is to go out there and get your initial investment. I was inspired by the book and couldn't stop reading. Waht you will learn are: - How hard it is to get financing from VC to inital IPO - Who benefits from the stock market (not you that's for sure) - How Internet technology changes an industry I hope that you enjoy the book.
