an old friend told me a few days ago how much he enjoyed my ebook. i asked him if he bought it from amazon and he said no. it is available free online. i did a search and this is what i found. this is great. i hope more people could read my book. if you want the latest version (3rd edition) where i corrected many grammatical errors, you can go to amazon. i get about 40 cents a book and it is enough for me to cover my wine budget. it would be great if you could write a review. thx.

i love the article and the insight. this could also be looked at a different way. many entrepreneurs think that vc's are their customers. they are not. they don't consume. they re-sell. if you like check out chapter four of my recently published ebook on my own experience with vc's (free download for a limited time). hope you like and good luck everyone.

As one reviewer puts it ...
A humble immigrant from Macau comes to the U.S. and earns his doctorate in engineering at a prestigious university. Frustrated by the politics of academia, he sets out to free his inner entrepreneur. After a solid start, he is fired by the board of his first start-up. Realizing he is basically unemployable in a traditional job, he picks himself up, dusts himself off, and sets out to learn from his mistakes and start another company. The second attempt is a huge success; he cashes out and retires before his 50th birthday.
In "Survival Guide...", Denny tells the story of his failure, the lessons learned, and how they enabled him to ultimately succeed. A thoughtful, sensitive historian with a flair for reading people, he weaves an entertaining tale of VC's, technologists, money and power. Through it all, he never loses sight of the distinction between "lifestyle" and "life."

I did it. I finally published my second book (my first eBook). There are a total of ten chapters which are basically re-edit of my previous LoveMyTool posts. In this short book (50+ papes), I summarize my twenty years experience in high-tech startups, based on my two companies, one VC-funded and one self-funded.
There are no overnight successes. Building a startup is a journey not a race and it is about value-creation not valuation. I write about my survival techniques in creating values for potential customers which is a much slower, much longer, much more demanding but yet ultimately much more financially rewarding journey than creating valuation for potential investors.
The first 100 downloads are free. I am hoping to get enough exposure so that as many first-time entrepreneurs as possible could benefit from this book. If you like the book, as a personal favor to me, please rate and comment on Lulu.com. The more positive feedback I get, the better chance it will be for the book to appear on their recommended list.
Thanks and good luck with your venture.
