The book page took me back to the slice.capital site, which I believe was featured here at PH a little while ago. The idea is promising but you still only have one company in which we can invest. Are you adding more companies? What's the roadmap?

@tostartafire Sorry about the redirect, the ebook should show up in your inbox. As for adding more companies, we are actually adding one in the next few days and working on adding more over the next month!

I’m always a little sad when such valuable content is caught in a pdf. I would like to set font size and add bookmarks, comments etc. As an ios user, I prefer to work with epubs. Just saying - thx for sharing your hard work.

@llabball that's interesting feedback. First time doing this, so I'm not familiar with that format.

@dcy_philly Hmm 🤔 Maybe you want to use GitBook.

@dcy_philly @llabball That's a great idea! Do you think that is better than just hosting it on a website, more like a blog post?

@jacob_sheldon With GitBook you would have both. An epub is also just a zipped HTML/CSS/JS package with a TOC. Then you could address “reach” via the website (SEO) and let readers the choice for better offline experience.

Hey Product Hunt! Long-time fan, first time launcher here. My GF said not to attempt any jokes, so I scrapped my first draft. I’m part of the team at Slice Capital, a freshly launched equity crowdfunding company. Our mission is to equalize access to startup investing for both investors and founders. While equity crowdfunding has given the 99% access to startup investing, most people still don’t take advantage of it. When we asked why, we kept hearing investors say they know what venture capitalists do, but not how they do it. That sounded like a knowledge gap that we could bridge. We dove into the depths of the internet and discovered there is a ton of content on the subject, but nothing that made sense of it all in an approachable way. That’s why we spent the past three months researching, writing, and editing this ebook. We hope you find it easy to read and informative at any level of experience. Stay tuned for a podcast covering the same topic (like a ‘How I Built This’ for venture capital). Thanks!

Haven't finished it yet, but the book seems really cool and full of a lot of really great info. The section about important metrics was especially helpful in my opinion!

Pros:

Informative, Helpful

Cons:

None so far
