Angel in Hell
How to raise funds from investors and why it is not always worth it
by Lech Kaniuk
How to raise funds from investors and why it is not always worth it.
The English edition of Anioł w Piekle. Lech Kaniuk writes about startup financing from both sides: as a founder who raised money from business angels, funds, public sources, partners, suppliers, and customers, and as an investor himself. The book covers whether you really need an investor, financing sources, VC fund mechanics, preparation, negotiations, follow-on rounds, exits, and fundraising documents.
