Secrets of Sand Hill Road
Venture Capital and How to Get It
An insider's field guide to how venture capital really works.
Scott Kupor of Andreessen Horowitz pulls back the curtain on how venture capital firms raise money, choose startups, and structure deals. He walks founders through term sheets, board dynamics, cap tables, and exits in plain language. The book aims to level the information asymmetry between entrepreneurs and the investors who fund them.
Most founders negotiate with VCs while understanding only a fraction of the mechanics, and this book closes that gap. It equips you to read a term sheet, grasp how a fund makes money, and align incentives before signing away equity.
