The founder and CEO of one of Silicon Valley’s most successful companies pulls back the curtain on the startup fundraising process in this essential playbook.

Mastering the art of fundraising is key to every new company’s success. But the process itself is too often shrouded in mystery. From networking and building supportive relationships to crafting the perfect pitch and knowing when to finalize a deal - it can be a confusing and complex web. Opening a fundraising round is one of the most daunting moments in the lifecycle of a young startup. But even as tech insiders trade tips, too many first-time founders are left in the dark or sorting through conflicting advice.

Ryan Breslow’s definitive guide to startup fundraising provides overdue, much needed clarity. Drawing on years of experience at the industry’s highest levels, he dispels common misconceptions and distills essential wisdom on every facet of the process. This compelling, accessible, and candid primer is a must-read for first-time founders and startup veterans alike. They will find much to learn from Breslow’s indispensable guide to the nuts and bolts of successful fundraising.

I almost can express in words how pleasantly surprised I was at how great this book is and how much tactical level knowledge was jammed into a 1 hour audible listen. I'll probably listen to this book 4 to 5 More times.

Unbelievable.

Amazing book. Short, to the point and with clear guidelines.

More business book should be like this and less BS around needing to have a 200-300 page book for the sake of it.

Loved it. 10/10

This resource was critically analyzed as a part of the fundraising and networking strategy development at my workplace and I'd like to start off by saying this is a very informative read. Mr. Breslow goes very in depth in what it means to, not just fundraise your startup, but to build the network that your startup will eventually rely upon. He touches on many different details and individual scenarios to get his point across. Mr. Breslow also emphasizes how important it is to hold back from asking for investment too early as well as to maintain a respectable distance from investors, as you are a busy founder and must maintain this persona to build respect from potential investors. All in all, Mr. Breslow does an excellent job offering guidance in "Fundraising" through the use of scenario analysis, a description of the persona of a busy founder, and behavioral expectation of a busy founder.

Very Informative

This book is a no nonsense, battle tested guide to fundraising. Ryan is a grandmaster at the game and a clear, concise teacher.

I cannot recommend this read enough.

Every founder should read this book

If you’re looking for up to date information on raising capital for a business this is it. It’s very succinct.
Think of this book as a friend you wish you had, giving advice on this subject for an hour.
The audio quality is fine, the reader is the author, this isn’t Dune with Timothy Chalamet, this is straightforward business advice. And the advice is good.
Essentially it’s $15 for a 1 hour book, but it’s dense and if you’re looking for this info. That $15 to raise $15M.

Worth it.
