Review by Bob Geras for Attracting Capital From Angels: How Their Money—and Their Experience—Can Help You Build a Successful Company
Rating:
A real gem! In over 35 years as a serial entrepreneur, investment banker and angel investor, I’ve come across dozens of books addressing various aspects of raising money, writing a business plan and/or finding investors. Most rehash existing theories and consolidate existing sources of research and advice on the topic. Brian and Dee have done a remarkable job of gathering fresh information through direct interviews, original essays and new surveys. The result is a truly enlightening, useful and very readable work which should become The Bible for anyone thinking of starting a business, financing an existing one, or investing as an angel themselves.A must read even for someone just interested in learning more about Angel Investing, a little known area of our economy which just happens to be one of the most powerful drivers of our free enterprise system.Bob Geras,PresidentLaSalle Investments Incorporated

I am planning a new business, and payed for this book, along with express shipping, since it is very topical. I feel cheated since the book is completely worthless. My only consolation is writing this review.

There is not enough information in this book to make a newspaper article. Aside from very short interviews with Angels that are scattered randomly among the pages, the book consists of constant repitition of a few very simple ideas:

1. Angels invest their own money, VC invest other peoples
2. Some Angels may be able to help you with your business. Some may not.
3. Don’t waste potential investors time, make sure your business plan is short and reasonable.

Thats the whole book. Many other reviewers (who signed themselves “A Reader”) praised this book. I have to question their impartiality.

If you are planning a new business and looking for investors, I can offer you some free and valuable advice. Don’t waste your time reading this book.

“Dee and Brian have diligently researched and compiled a manual for all entrepreneurs seeking Angel funding and advice. While most books on Angels and venture capital focus on abstract concepts and financial theory, this one is directly relevant to real situations and contains invaluable tips to successfully secure funding for many ventures in a difficult environment.”Frank A.

How to find angel investors, how to approach them, what they look for, why they invest – it’s all here. Not just one person’s opinion, “Attracting Capital” is based on solid research and interviews with over 30 accredited investors. If you only buy one book on angel investors, make sure it’s this one.
