New book discloses the two phrases VCs hear most often from entrepreneurs

The book is honest, often funny, humble, and it doesn't rely on jargon or get too deep into the financial mechanics of VC deals...

The book offers a helpful range of perspectives from investors and entrepreneurs, and many of the entrepreneurs are plain about what a difficult time they've had raising money. Bussgang doesn't plaster over the tensions can arise between entrepreneurs and investors — especially when entrepreneurs aren't willing to share or hand over management responsibilities — but he's an optimist at his core. "Ultimately, the desire to have an impact on the world and the passion for innovation is what makes this magic formula between entrepreneur and venture capitalist such a special one," he writes.
