Katherine S: I bought a hard copy and would also listen to the audio version while driving. I wasn't sure if this book would be "right" for me but I think it's perfect for anyone in venture capital, but especially those of us in investor relations who work so closely with LPs, founders, and of course GPs. It's compelling and insightful to the world of VC, how a VC works and raising a new fund. I found so many great teaching moments from this guide. The author seems genuine and thoughtful which made the read even greater. I am grateful I stumbled across this gem.

Zoe Enright: I am planning on raising my firm's third fund along with ancillary investment vehicles. This book helped me to reaffirm best practices and introduced me to new ones that will serve my fund well in longevity. I wish I had read this book when I started out. I was impressed from beginning to end, though I wish there was a resource repository at the back of the book with LPA examples, pitch deck examples, and links to quarterly memos from VCs.

No better way to drink from the firehose than this book.
