1. While reading this chapter, there were many sections that stood out to me. I personally enjoyed learning about the essential elements for a successful presentation to venture capitalist. This section really goes into depth about the qualities team members must have, as well as the necessities that the product, business plan, and market must have in order to work.


2. I found this article to be very clear and concise. I really didn't have any section that was confusing to me. I enjoyed it!


3. If I were able to ask the author two questions:


What would you say is the most important aspect of capital markets?
What are the best ways to master venture capitalism?


I would ask these questions in order to hear the perspective of an intelligent writer and also to learn about the author's ventures that lead him to the place he is today.


4. I don't have anything in particular that I felt the author was wrong about. I really enjoyed this chapter and learning about the venture capital market.
