Book Description
In SECRETS OF THE TOAD -THE WIN, Jake is about to enter the playoffs bringing with him several questions. First, will he finally get his opportunity to pitch? Second, is there anything more important than playing ball? Third, will Jake step up to the plate when he witnesses bullying? Finally, should Jake go to visit Tobias by himself, or does he dare take his sister, Emma, a non-stop talker, with him? Ah yes, Tobias, the one who seems to hold all the answers – and more. In this latest addition to The Secrets of the Toad, we are once again taken into a world where the details of ordinary life sparkle, until life isn’t ordinary any more. We have brother-sister-mom-dad stuff, the tangles of friendship, the challenges of disappointment – and then there’s the unexpected, the beyond normal that changes everything. As Emma says, “It’s just so magical that there are no words.” Except to say, Patty Page gets a gold trophy for this one. Nancy Rue, author of over 100 books for kids

Secrets of Sand Hill Road
Author: Scott Kupor
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593083598
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A Wall Street Journal Bestseller! What are venture capitalists saying about your startup behind closed doors? And what can you do to influence that conversation? If Silicon Valley is the greatest wealth-generating machine in the world, Sand Hill Road is its humming engine. That's where you'll find the biggest names in venture capital, including famed VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, where lawyer-turned-entrepreneur-turned-VC Scott Kupor serves as managing partner. Whether you're trying to get a new company off the ground or scale an existing business to the next level, you need to understand how VCs think. In Secrets of Sand Hill Road, Kupor explains exactly how VCs decide where and how much to invest, and how entrepreneurs can get the best possible deal and make the most of their relationships with VCs. Kupor explains, for instance: • Why most VCs typically invest in only one startup in a given business category. • Why the skill you need most when raising venture capital is the ability to tell a compelling story. • How to handle a "down round," when startups have to raise funds at a lower valuation than in the previous round. • What to do when VCs get too entangled in the day-to-day operations of the business. • Why you need to build relationships with potential acquirers long before you decide to sell. Filled with Kupor's firsthand experiences, insider advice, and practical takeaways, Secrets of Sand Hill Road is the guide every entrepreneur needs to turn their startup into the next unicorn.
