This book explores the financial issues facing startup companies.

Financing the Entrepreneurial Venture focuses on financial management within entrepreneurial firms. Most of these are young firms, although some are more established. The book examines these firms at all phases of their life cycle, from the initial idea generation to the ultimate harvesting of the venture. The book covers firms in a diverse set of industries including high technology, low technology and services. A significant fraction of the cases focus on non-U.S. ventures. Additionally, the issues of gender and diversity are addressed in a number of settings. 

Notably comprehensive, impressively detailed, extraordinarily 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, 'Financing the Entrepreneurial Venture: A Casebook' will have a particular and enduring relevance for readers with an interest in Business Entrepreneurship, Venture Capitalism, and Corporate Valuation. It is unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, corporate, and college/university library Entrepreneurship & Capitalism collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists. - Midwest
