Also explains why inefficient use of money can be important."

Anthony Pompliano: "No brainer pick up for every entrepreneur and investor."

Shane Parrish: "As hard as you think your life is, it pales in comparison to Auschwitz.

I took two big things away from this book: (1) the ultimate freedom is the ability to choose your attitude in the face of any circumstance and (2) the more you target success, the more you will miss it."

Naval Ravikant: "One of my favorite books of all time."

Kupor’s book takes founders who want to do both through everything from how VCs raise money and evaluate deals, to how to think about term sheets and set up boards.

It’s a valuable resource for any founder who wants to work with VCs.”
