Book publishing for Investors
You win deal flow by being the fund or the individual a founder thinks of first. Your book is the fastest and most durable way to earn that mental bookmark. Quartz Press publishes books for VCs, private equity partners, and angels who want to be first on the list, and we would like yours to be one of them.
Book a Strategy CallWhy you should write your investor book
- Deal flow. Founders bring their best deals to investors whose thinking they already trust. Your book is the cheapest and most scalable way to build that trust at a distance.
- Thesis signalling. Your book explains what you invest in, what you do not, and why, better than a fund deck or a website ever will.
- LP relations. Limited partners evaluating your next fund want to understand your edge. Your book gives them a way to do that at their own pace.
- Category authority. In sectors where the narrative is still being written, climate tech, AI, longevity, biotech, the investor who writes the book shapes the category. That investor can be you.
- Media and speaking leverage. Your book unlocks podcast invitations, stage time, and journalist access that cold pitches never will.
The kind of book that will work for you
Your book will come in one of three shapes. The thesis book lays out how you see a sector or stage, and is typically read by founders and LPs. The pattern book distils lessons from your portfolio companies into actionable advice for founders. The memoir-led book mixes your career narrative with investment lessons, usually for readers who already know your name.
The common trap is writing a book that could have been published by any fund. Specificity, to your thesis, your sector, or your investment style, is what will make your book worth reading. We will help you figure out which of the three shapes is yours in our publishing strategy phase, before a word of the book gets written.
How we will work with you
You are almost certainly short on time and long on strong opinions. Our process fits that profile. Six to twelve hours of recorded interviews, handled around your board calendar, with drafting and editorial on our side.
We are comfortable with your NDAs, portfolio-company confidentiality, and the sensitivity around naming founders, deals, or outcomes. Nothing goes to print without the right sign-offs.
