Book Reviews of Venture Capital and Private Equity: A Casebook

Book Review: Excellent introduction to an exciting asset class
Summary: 4 Stars

First let me start with what this book is not! It is not a textbook and it will not teach you the practical methodology of deal structuring, LBO modeling or valuation. However if you are looking for a well-written, non-technical book that illustrates the rationale and dynamics behind PE/VC investing, look no further.

After diligently reading these case studies, I have become comfortable with the unique terminologies and thought processes involved in each stage of the investment life-cycle. A slightly greater emphasis on the technical aspects would have made this book perfect, but overall I have no complaints.
