From the publisher

Venture capitalism offers lessons essential to any business, and Ruthann Quindlen, one of America's most visible venture capitalists, has used those lessons to create some of the largest and most fascinating companies of this century. In the past year alone, venture capitalists were responsible for the $10 billion-plus that fueled the best new ideas and most impressive start-ups. But what makes a successful venture capitalist? Cash? Smarts? Luck? In this fearless and informative financial primer, Quindlen educates readers about the growing opportunities -- and hidden pitfalls -- of venture capital investing, and helps readers evaluate their own business ideas more accurately by applying her proven Ten Commandments for Entrepreneurs.
