VP in a Nutshell is a must read for anyone keen to understand the key practices of venture philanthropy. It is a series of Short Guides on impact management & measurement, tailored financing, non-financial support and exit, outlining the key elements, theory and implementation of these practices. They also provide case studies and examples to illustrate the theory. All of this in only four pages.

The Guides are a great practical tool for new practitioners interested in the venture philanthropy and social investment method, and a useful reference for those already familiar with the practices.
