For the elite startups and entrepreneurs asking for investment to boost their ventures to a next step, there is a tough process called "due diligence". It is nothing more than a final integrity check on all aspects of the business and the team, but it needs preparation, a clean execution and meet some standards in order to get the investor's trust. In this book you will find exhaustive information not just to survive the process but to excel in maximizing your benefit in the investment agreement and also to get the funds quicker. It has been written by Benjamin C. Lawson, who works for Moos Consulting (www.moosconsulting.com) and has more than 15 years of experience in startups and consulting. It is structured as a bulleted guide, in order to get you familiar with the process and the expected outcomes, so you can get a most standardized document any VC or business angel will desire. And that is the beginning of your success in the negotiation.
