This appears to be part of it.
I've only just started this book, but I can hardly put it down,
it's packed with usefull heuristics (venture capitalists expect a
tenfold return, 4-1 is a normal founder/worker equity ratio for a
startup, 10% of salaries for bonuses etc) and where the real money
and power are. (Hint: it's not Wall Street and the NYSE)
Not only all that, but it's a swell read....
I'd say must reading for Extropians investors and budding SI's.
