Valuable lessons for entrepreneurs – weekly book review

Inside private equity, Bill Ferris, Allen & Unwin

What a great storyteller Bill Ferris is! His earlier book, Nothing ventured nothing gained, exposed some fascinating success stories and spectacular failures within the Australian private equity industry.

In this, Bill’s latest book, there are valuable lessons for would-be investors and entrepreneurs, such as the all-important raising funds, picking the right people to work with, deciding whether to go with start-ups versus buyouts and investing in IPOs.

 Some fascinating success stories and spectacular failures within the Australian private equity industry.

The book includes lots of case studies of both successful and not-so-successful ventures, and the best part – it’s all Australian.
