The Venture Café

There seems to be a niche in the publishing industry devoted to collected biographies of entrepreneurs. The Venture Café only loosely fits this mold, focusing on specific aspects of the entrepreneurial experience rather than the individuals interviewed. There are success stories here, but also lessons learned from mistakes. Some of the chapters describe a single entrepreneur or company, but many include numerous examples to make a point. Insights from venture capitalists and journalists, as well as from entrepreneurs, are featured. The Venture Café is well written by someone who is not an entrepreneur, but knows them well.
