The First Chinese Undergraduate Textbook on Venture Capital 

(1st Edition 2011, 2nd Edition 2018)

Pascal’s multi-year collaboration with Professor Manhong Mannie Liu of Renmin University of China began in the summer of 2007, when they met at Harvard Law School’s Symposium on Building the Financial System of the 21st Century between China and the United States, sponsored together with CDRF (China Development Research Foundation) and PIFS (the Program on International Financial Systems).

The resulting Chinese textbook is categorized as part of “China’s National College Major Investment Textbook Series for the Twelfth Five-Year Plan.” First released in 2011 and republished in an expanded second edition in 2018, the book covers the venture capital concept, entrepreneurship, fundraising, business plan construction and analysis, investment due diligence, post-investment monitoring, and liquidity events.
