Trade Review
When I first came to Silicon Valley, I was struck by how much people teach and learn from one another. In this book, Tren continues that spirit by sharing his own learning from others-and explains how investment judgments and decisions are made in the world of tech start-ups. -- Marc Andreessen, cofounder of Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz The book is among a select few to categorize the key learnings of leading VCs. -- Chris Goulakos
