Note: Mixergy readers can download a LARGE excerpt of Jeffrey Bussgang’s book (in PDF format).

My aim with this program is to cover the basics of venture capital, including questions like “How does a VC earn money?” and “What are the different roles inside a VC firm?”

Joining me is Jeffrey Bussgang, a VC with Flybridge Capital Partners and the author of Mastering the VC Game: A Venture Capital Insider Reveals How to Get from Start-up to IPO on Your Terms. Previously, Jeff was an entrepreneur whose accomplishments include co-founding Upromise, which was acquired by Sallie Mae.
