Review: Barbara from Shark Tank says you should read this book. I agree. - I have zero experience with entrepreneurship, but I know a heck of a lot more now than I did prior to reading this book. It’s amazing how much you can learn from 225 pages. Prior to reading this book, I envisioned entrepreneurship and the relationship between entrepreneur and investor to be about one thing - money. After reading this book, I realize that the monetary agreement between entrepreneur and investor is the byproduct of a relational connection, or friendship, not the other way around. The authors are masters at explaining how to initiate and foster those friendships. As the authors explain, those friendships are fostered through the entrepreneur having a sense of modesty, being humble enough to ask for the investor’s suggestions, being willing to listen instead of speak, and once that relationship is established, being confident enough to ask the investor to join in the venture. In almost any profession, getting your colleagues to buy-in to a plan or vision is something of great benefit, and something that is likely only going to happen if genuine relationships are established. These guys understand that and explain how to make that happen in the book. A large portion of this book focuses on the reasons for creating a pitch deck (as opposed to a business plan) and gives the reader step-by-step instructions for what to include in the pitch deck and how what’s included should be displayed. One of the great things about this book is that the authors include actual pitch decks from successful start-ups so that the reader has real-world examples to follow. Quite frankly, I’ve never seen such beautiful, and modern, presentations. I regularly deliver presentations for my job and these pitch decks make my slides look antiquated and dull. I plan to adopt the authors’ approach. Less words, more beautiful images, and tell a story. If you’re an experienced entrepreneur who has already raised millions of dollars for successful start-ups, you should read this book. You’ll learn something and refine your craft. If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur that has a great idea but is clueless how to get started, you should definitely read this book. It’s an A-to-Z road map for how to put your idea into action and make it a reality. If you’re an intellectual or genuinely curious person who wants to know how to more effectively communicate a great idea, how to get others on board with that great idea, and how to establish genuine friendships through that process, this book is also for you. And lastly, if you’re a Friday evening Shark Tank watcher and stare at the screen mostly confused, read this book. You’ll feel smarter. Plus, Barbara endorses the book on the front cover. Enjoy.
Review: Personal. Practical. Parsimonious. - Evan Baehr and Evan Loomis have written a book that will no doubt be table stakes for any entrepreneur looking to convince others to invest money, time and reputation into their venture. As the authors themselves admit on Page 3 of the book, there is no shortage of advice out there on fundraising. But what I think makes Get Backed both unique and worth reading is its focus on personal experience, practical advice and parsimonious delivery (the alliteration is a coincidence, I swear!) Rather than simply discussing ideas or theory, the authors relate all of their lessons to specific examples from their own careers and those of the many founders and investors in their respective networks. What they advise is actionable and useful wisdom, laid out in a structured, data-driven manner that feels incredibly intuitive. Lastly, I found this book to be informationally dense; the authors do not waste ink on superfluous details or anecdotes. Everything serves a purpose: help you launch the venture of your dreams. P.S. The book is also extremely well designed and aesthetically appealing. It will look great on any coffee table.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want VC money, you must GET BACKED!
*by J***Y on November 3, 2015*

What a remarkable book. I got this book on a Saturday morning, and by that evening I had finished it. I was so impressed, I immediately ordered 9 more to distribute to the competitors of an entrepreneurial pitch competition I'm organizing. The authors have a way with telling a vivid story while weaving in real world lessons that will be useful for any current or aspiring entrepreneurs. Featuring actual pitch decks from successful fundraisers sets this book apart. If you want to build a compelling deck and raise venture capital, this should be your first stop.
