A Must Read for Start-up Company Executives,
By Douglas E. Gunn, President, Financial Legacy... (Kansas City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winning Strategies for Capital Formation: Secrets of Funding Start-Ups and Emerging Growth Firms Without Losing Control of Your Idea, Project or Company (Hardcover)
I found this book to be extremely helpful and encouraging. I came from a large brokerage- company before founding a start-up, and I was in no mood for techno-jargon or high-falutin' investment banker speak. I found none in Linda's book. Instead I learned that while we have a long way to go with our company, we have done a lot of the basic and most important things correctly. This is important for baby-entepreneurs like us to hear, because the myriad tasks we face each day are daunting and, at times, overwhelming. This book also has shown us what areas we need to improve on before we tap the capital markets to expand our business. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is about to seek outside investors for his or her company, and wants to learn the ropes quickly yet thoroughly. It is easy to read, but it doesn't gloss-over or skip any important areas. This book is fanstastic as both a primer and as an evaluation tool for entrepreneurs.

This review is from: Winning Strategies for Capital Formation: Secrets of Funding Start-Ups and Emerging Growth Firms Without Losing Control of Your Idea, Project or Company (Hardcover)
I read Linda Chandler's book after meeting her at the ComDex Computer Show. I found her book very enlightening, and she got straight to the heart of the matter--the challenge of raising adequate amounts of capital for a fast growth, startup venture. I know cuz I've been there several times. I give this book 5 stars. It covers many critical points that most early stage companies overlook.

This book is for anyone serious about starting a new venture,
By A Customer
This review is from: Winning Strategies for Capital Formation: Secrets of Funding Start-Ups and Emerging Growth Firms Without Losing Control of Your Idea, Project or Company (Hardcover)
I got this book and read it cover-to-cover. Linda Chandler did a great favor to all entrepreneurs. She tells it like it is, in a sobering, realistic view of the capital formation process. The genius of Chandler is that she breaks down the complex process of raising venture capital into the essence. Thus, it may seem "simplistic" at first blush, but believe me--this woman did not raise over a billion dollars in venture funds being simple. Get this book today. It will be valuable and you will turn to it everytime you commence on a fundraising project. A CIO in the e-commerce battle.
