Given that context, I can say that the vast majority of the information in this book is vital to the success of a startup, and that it is not commonly knowledge among founders in the startup circuit. I would have been much better off if I had read this book before starting anything, and I'm very grateful that I have now, as it will help me navigate many hazards in years to come!
It is a textbook, so the presentation of the format is inherently not a page-turner. That said, I think the authors have done an excellent job in writing the book so that it will be accessible to the entrepreneur (as opposed to only law students). The book is structured to follow the arc of a company from inception through IPO. At the end of each chapter, it illustrates the legal concepts of the preceding pages in a fictitious clean energy startup. There are also numerous side bars exploring case law and real-world examples. Where relevant (such as with term sheets), sample language is provided.
Are you familiar with the concept of consideration (value exchanged in a contract that gives the contract legal recognition), short-swing profit liability (the liability of insiders to forfeit any profits gained from trading of their stock in a window of time shorter than six months), or the different classes of bankruptcy (Chapter 11 Reorganization versus Chapter 7 Liquidation)? If not, you'll learn about these any many other topics in this book!
Being published in 2012, this forth edition doesn't cover blockchain law whatsoever. That said, I think that is beyond the scope of this book, and I look forward to someone publishing an excellent handbook similar to this one on blockchain and the law in the US context sometime soon (although an every-shifting legal context may delay this from occurring during the 2020s).
Today I got another unsolicited email from one of the students mentioning this book has "proven useful countless times"
This book and some of the Steve Blank material, key sources for any entrepreneur
