"Professor Alan Barrell and his colleagues have written a remarkable bookIt offers important information based on academic research in an interesting and entertaining way. The book tackles the problems entrepreneurs face in fundraising in a fresh and encouraging manner. The writers have chosen to approach the serious contents using a framework that offers a lot of practical examples and clever quotations supporting the message. The book is full of heavy facts and includes a lot of theoretical knowledge. As such it offers a great tool for all learners. It gives a thorough idea of mathematical valuations and financial ratios that can be vital tools for an entrepreneur in distress. The book also acts as an encouraging and gentle guide to entrepreneurship by giving examples of interesting cases to show that "it can be done". Despite heavy informative contents the book is easy and enjoyable to read." --Juhani Nieminen, Adjunct Professor, Lahti University of Applied Sciences
