Bloomberg Deals:
“Deals are often complex, sometimes messy and almost always unpredictable- kind of like a Grateful Dead concert. Venture capitalist Marc Morgenstern-a fan of the legendary jam band- says thinking more like a musician can make deals simpler and smoother for all.”
“In a conversational and sometimes whimsical tone, he lays out an alternative vision of dealmaking as a collaborative venture. Sprinkling in references to the Dead, Morgenstern draws lessons from the band’s improvisational style, rooted in a deep familiarity with their craft. He calls those who adopt his adaptive, flexible approach ‘Dealjammers.’”
Marc’s book debuted at #1 in Business Negotiating on Amazon with all 5-star Amazon customer reviews.
