That’s the question at the heart of “The Venture Capital Playbook” a book I wish more investors will read. 

Knowing both sides of the table Angela De Giacomo and her contributors break down how families and family offices—often viewed as conservative investors—can thrive in an industry known for high risk and high reward.

Family Offices and individual Investors will find the book valuable if they:

👉 Seek guidance on choosing between direct investments in startups and indirect investments through venture capital funds (or FoF), tailored to their family's risk tolerance, time capacity, access and goals

👉 Want to hear examples from successful family office operations and venture capital fund managers, providing actionable takeaways

👉 Are looking for a easy to digest inputs on DD, Legal and Deal Structures - simplified without losing depth

If you want to protect and grow your family's wealth while driving innovation in your country, region, or industry, this book is a must-read.

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post - I am sharing this as there is still a lot of education needed and I am thankful, that Angela and everyone else involved are taking a leap on bringing more great minds into the ecosystem. 🙏 

We are currently exploring the possibility of hosting a joint event with Angela De Giacomo for a live reading and education session in Munich. Just reply to this email if you would like to be considered.
