  DuPont Center for Collaborative Research: Intellectual capital is becoming currency in the 'New Economy.' An in-depth overview of intangible assets and their valuation, Carayannis and Juneau explore intellectual capital as a proxy for unavailable cash in the fledgling start-up, illustrating with case studies. This is excellent reading for entrepreneurs and executives, in for-profit and not-for-profit settings, challenged with building a technology-based business.

  Esquire: As an attorney who frequently deals with start-up companies, I found this book to be dead-on. It accurately describes the dynamics of the professional service provider/start-up company relationship, and it contains a wealth of information to guide both professionals and companies in their dealings with each other. The concept of the 'intellectual venture capitalist' is insightful, and the framework that the book provides for implementation of this concept is clearly laid out and compelling. The case studies provide intriguing insights into the application of the intellectual venture capital concept in the 'real world.' This book should be of real interest to both entrepreneurs and professional service providers.

  Silicon Valley Consulting Group: Any serious entrepreneur who is planning a start-up needs this book. Carayannis and Juneau provide the comprehensive overview required for properly understanding the relationship created through the use of the equity for services model. But they also get down to the hard facts of percentages and dollars. Interviews with law firms, giving real life implementations of the equity for services model, encourage application of the context. Equity is truly a capital tool....The publishing of this book could not be timelier. This tool is a "must have" for the entrepreneurs tool box.
