It is considered a classic textbook on the creation of start-ups. All stages of the detailed itemized. At the end there are examples of very well-known companies, with tables, how many who got money in the process of selling the company. Last edition was already after the bubble burst. Not painted with the procedure of finding the money, but gives a good understanding of when and what to do. This book could not be found on the Internet in electronic form, if they find someone - I will be grateful if you share a link.
