Synopsis:
As an
experienced entrepreneur,
technologist, and venture
capitalist, Scott Chou brings you
on the inside of today's startup
world. Maxims, Morals, and
Metaphors is a humorous and
profound compilation of business
metaphors assembled to teach the
art of venture capital. Chou's
book demystifies the VC game for
all players new to the business.
The authors background
includes having worked at five
entrepreneurial ventures in
addition to large technology
organizations such as Bellcore
and IBM. Chou entered the venture
capital arena via the Kauffman
Fellows Program and is currently
a General Partner at Gabriel
Venture Partners. Chous
educational background includes a
bachelors degree from
Caltech as well as masters
degrees from Harvard and Stanford.
Venture
capital associates, students of
venture capital, and experienced
venture capitalists in search of
teaching tools are the target
audience for this book. If you
are an experienced venture
capitalist, this book is not so
much about learning something new
as much as helping you remember
what you already know. The
objectives of this project will
have been met if readers are able
internalize a number of best
practices. Hopefully, the wit and
wisdom will drive some concepts
to the subconscious level where
they can always be relied upon
for the innumerable snap business
judgments that are typical of the
venture capital industry. .
