Secrets of Sand Hill Road

byScott Kupor

Venture capitalist Scott Kupor explains how Silicon Valley financing works from the perspectives of founders, investors, employees, and limited partners. He covers the structure of venture funds, fundraising, term sheets, board governance, valuation, ownership dilution, growth milestones, and exits. The book clarifies what venture capitalists seek at different stages and how entrepreneurs can evaluate whether outside capital fits their business. Kupor also discusses the conflicts and incentives that arise after investment, showing that a successful founder–VC relationship depends on aligned expectations, transparent communication, and understanding how decisions affect control as well as company value.
