Ask HN: books / articles about becoming a vc?

2 pointskolinko3 comments

There is a plenty of resources floating around about running a startup, but what about running a seedfund / angelfund?

Any good reading you'd recommend?

Although not a book about becoming a VC or angel investor, Venture Deals by Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson of TechStars and Foundry Group does cover a lot about investments and common things you should understand (which is something useful to know if you're looking to get into the business).

Although again this isn't a book on the subject, here is a blog post talking about it: http://www.askthevc.com/wp/archives/2007/01/how-to-become-a-...
