The book is a must read for all vc backed startups. It provides a very useful introduction and overview of common concepts.

Highlights
Quality
Brad and jason deliver with the 4th edition
I was able to talk the talk which helped me move through conversations quickly and built confidence with the other party

I own every edition of venture deals and often recommend it to firsttime entrepreneurs
Would highly recommend to anyone considering a career in the startup world
