Syndicate / by Francis, Felix,author.(CARDINAL)347219;
Chester Newton has built his fortune organizing racehorse syndicates, where top horses are co-owned and managed by several parties. These joint enterprises are high risk and high reward--and for Chester, it's almost always been reward. The stakes only get higher as the syndicates grow larger, and every race means the possibility of complete failure--or ecstatic success. After an anxious morning waiting for the results of the Epsom Derby, the premier flat race in the UK, Chester has an afternoon of explosive triumph--and an evening of total terror. Someone tries to take over one of his syndicates by force--and by threats of serious harm to him and his family. For the first time in Chester's life, it's not just a horse race or money at stake--it's his life and the lives of his loved ones.--

Someone else was supposed to write this book -- The Brooklyn grinder -- What is angel investing? -- Is angel investing for you? -- Do you need to be in Silicon Valley to be a great angel investor? -- What's so special about Silicon Valley? -- Startup funding rounds explained -- How to be an angel investor with little or no money -- The pros and cons of advising -- Going straight from college to angel investing -- How to hack angel investing: syndicates -- Month one: your first ten syndicate deals -- Month two: thirty days of angel and founder meetings -- My best and worst pitch meetings -- What to do before a pitch meeting -- What to do during a pitch meeting -- How to pick a billion-dollar founder -- The four founder questions -- Going deeper -- Founder or fraud? -- Evaluating the deal -- Why angels should write deal memos -- The perfect way to decline a deal -- Due diligence checklist -- Your first yes -- How founders should treat their angels -- There is nothing more important than monthly updates -- Your disastrous second year as an angel investor -- Keep your head up -- Exits: great companies are bought, not sold -- Finding your groove -- Where does your angel story end?"Over the past 25 years Jason Calacanis has been building and investing in technology startups. In that time, he's made tens of millions of dollars by getting lucky-seven times. Angel takes you step-by-step through how massive, some say unfair, wealth is being created in the 21st century: i.e. by startups. In Angel he teaches readers how to get rich even if you came from humble beginnings like him (dad's a bartender, mom's a nurse), didn't go to the right schools, and were a career C-grade student. For budding entrepreneurs, the book will take them inside the mind of angel investors, helping them understand their priorities and decision-making process. Calacanis walks readers through the calculus and decision points great angel investors explore as they evaluate new ventures; he reveals how leading investors think and how the best startups leverage relationships with angel investors for the best results. Whether you're an aspiring investor or a budding entrepreneur, this book will inspire and educate you on all the ins of outs. There are two ways to make money in this world: create something valuable or invest in the people that are creating valuable things. Buckle up for a wild ride into the world of angel investing"--

Population control : how corporate owners are killing us / by Marrs, Jim,1943-2017.;
"Bad Food Bad Water Bad Drugs Bad Air What if these are all part of a global plot? From the food we eat and the water we drink to the air we breathe, everything these days seems capable of killing us. Recently we have seen an unprecedented number of deaths due to medications for diseases that may not even exist, obscure cancers caused by our modern devices, and brutal police tactics. All a coincidence? Think again. In Population Control, acclaimed journalist Jim Marrs lays out a stunning case for his most audacious conspiracy yet: the scheme concocted by a handful of global elites to reduce the world's population to 500 million by whatever means necessary and make a profit from it.Marrs, the bestselling author of Rule by Secrecy and The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy, pulls no punches in exposing this evil and chillingly effective plan. He explains how a small group of tremendously wealthy and powerful people controls virtually every important industry--guns, oil, pharmaceuticals, food, and of course the media--and how it uses this vast network of conglomerates to take actions that lead to the deaths of men and women all over the world.Marrs answers tough questions the corporate-controlled media wouldn't even dream of asking: Could the CDC be secretly behind the recent Ebola outbreak that gripped the world? Who is responsible for the explosion in prescriptions for potentially deadly medications, and who profits? Why are local American police officers being sent to Israel for training in counterterrorism methods? Why might water be the deadliest weapon of the twenty-first century? In the explosive Population Control, Marrs lays bare the damning truths corporate owners don't want you to discover: how they've spied on private citizens, intentionally spread disease, and destroyed the planet chasing profits, all to improve the lives of a privileged few while eliminating everyone else. Finally, he offers a citizen's blueprint for fighting back"--"Jim Marrs explores the conspiracies to undo America's values through the lens of guns, oil, and drugs - and offers prescriptive solutions to fix our nation"--
