English and Vietnamese covers of the venture capital book ‘Raising Venture Capital for the Serious Entrepreneur.


A Practical Guide to Venture Capital Fundraising


The book is a comprehensive playbook on how venture capitalists evaluate businesses, structure deals, value early-stage companies, and negotiate terms. It gives founders the tools to secure capital with clarity and with leverage. Using case studies, charts, and hands-on term-sheet exercises, the book breaks down:


  • The full VC fundraising journey

  • Methods for early-stage valuation and financial modeling

  • Investor psychology and incentive dynamics

  • Term-sheet negotiation scenarios

  • Real-world examples commonly faced by startups


Widely used in European universities and MBA programs, the book serves as both a practical handbook and a foundational curriculum for building fundable companies.


Why This Venture Capital Book Matters for Vietnam’s Founders


For years, Raising Venture Capital for the Serious Entrepreneur has been considered essential reading for anyone trying to understand how venture capital actually works. The book breaks down the mechanics that often feel opaque: how investors evaluate early-stage companies, what goes into financial planning, how to negotiate term sheets, and how power and incentives shift across fundraising stages.


The Vietnamese edition Chiến Lược Huy Động Vốn Mạo Hiểm Dành Cho Nhà Khởi Nghiệp Nghiêm Túc makes this knowledge widely accessible to Vietnam’s founders, operators, and future fund managers. It removes barriers, clarifies the process, and strengthens the ecosystem with globally recognized, practical guidance.
