I think Mr. Camp does a nice job of organizing the key due diligence questions into logical groups (legal, financial, etc.) Indeed, I think a good exercise would be to turn the questions in the book into a template for use during due diligence. I disagree with the earlier comments that there is little value because of his use of secondary sources. I think the opposite…a well-referenced book is always valued. In fact, I’ll be looking into some of the references myself!

Overall, nicely done.

This is one of the very few genuinely good and resourceful books on venture capital because it not only discusses a broad range of topics, but it does so in detail. I especially enjoyed the thematic approach Mr. Camp used to tie in venture due diligence for entrepreneurs. However, it comesup short on discussing other important topics like in-depth valuations, prospecting for money, and how to grow your business.

However,this book does deliver in certain areas and should be on the reading list of all entrepreneurs and should be used in conjunction with

“The Startup Company Bible for Entrepreneurs” (the best book on VC) and
“Term Sheets & Valuations”

In my view, after reading and studying these three books, any high-technology entrepreneur will be adequately prepared to face the challenges of raising venture capital and leading their company to success.

Finally, the knowledge gained from these 3 books will no doubt impress venture capitalists and demonstrate a level of confidence that should encourage venture funding. I continue to read books on start-up companies and venture capital and these 3 are by far the very best of the large bunch out there.

For me as a professional consultant to startups and early-stage companies — and a former successful CEO — this book to be an excellent resource. I can readily share it with clients because although it’s thorough and candid, it’s not off-putting with technical jargon. It speaks to you, the reader, directly.

If you’re a Founder or CEO of a young company, this book will become your peephole into the hearts and minds of your current and prospective investors.

This book delivers.

This book gives a good survey on the due diligence process and attempts to teach the reader other important aspects of venture capital by connecting it to the due diligence process. However, the author comes up short in addressing some of the more important subject areas.

Overall it is a pretty good book but you will need to by a few more if you want a really good understanding of the entire process. “The Startup Company Bible for Entrepreneurs” is the best book I’ve come across on the topic of venture capital and it is almost three times the size of this one and contains a lot more material and topics. This book would definately fill in the gaps in “Venture Capital Due Diligence.” You might want to get both since there aren’t too many good books on the topic.
