1. The biggest surprise for me in the reading of Chapter 8 was how much finance was incorporated and influences entrepreneurship. The book mentions topics such as ventures, loans, and debts vs. equity. These are all crucial parts of being an entrepreneur because your ideas must be backed by actual funds. Many people save money or borrow in order to make these ideas possible and successful.
2. One part of the reading that was confusing to me was the part that talked about venture capitalists and their returns on investments. I felt like the book did not illustrate this topic in a simple way for people who are not knowledgeable in finance to understand clearly.
3. If I could ask the author two questions I would ask him (1) "On average, which is better, angel financing or venture capitalism?" and (2) "How effective is angel financing?"
4. There was nothing I thought the author was wrong about. This chapter was very fact-based and included very few opinions from the author. Also, I felt less knowledgeable on the background of this chapter than I have felt towards the background of previous chapters.
