1) The biggest suprise for me in reading chapter 8 was the great amount of venture capitalist myths. Many people have a skewed view of venture capitalists. The most suprising myth, for me, was that venture capitalists only invest with the idea that they will get "very high, exorbitant, unreasonable returns." They can obtain normal returns on the hundreds of established public companies.
2) One portion of the reading that was a bit confusing was the section on "Criteria for Evaluating New-Venture Proposals". It was a long list with many different parts. This list was developed by researcher Dean A. Shepherd. It was developed for venture capitalists to use when they look to invest into new ventures.
3) One thing I would ask the author would be to clarify Angel Investors. The section was a bit new and confusing. Second I would ask what impact Angel Investors have on the entrepreneurial market. i would ask this to understand their role in the market.
4) I believe that the author was correct with everything he said and backed his information with studies and research done by other people in the field of entrepreneurial ventures.
