The book argues that negotiation genius is a learnable skill, not an innate talent.

Founders face investors and partners who negotiate for a living, and emotional or under-prepared founders leave value on the table. This book offers research-backed tactics for spotting hidden interests, defusing hardball moves, and creating bigger pies even when the deck seems stacked against you.
