Unscaled: How AI and a New Generation of Upstarts Are Creating the Economy of the Future by Hemant Taneja - My recommendation for current industry trends within VC and the theses behind them.

Venture Deals: Be Smarter Than Your Lawyer and Venture Capitalist by Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson - If you'd like to learn more about VC deal structuring and terms.

The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers by Ben Horowitz - Has insight on entrepreneurship and  tough decisions faced when building a company, more from the CEO's perspective than the investor's.

20 Minute VC is a great podcast for a newbie. Interviews with hundreds partners across all the top firms and some of the best founders you can think of. The host Harry actually broke into VC by starting the podcast in college I think and is now a partner at a seed stage fund. Must listen for anyone interested in VC imo

Try these podcasts:
1. Masters of Scale by Reid Hoffman.
2. Invest Like the Best.
3. The Wall Street Lab.
4. Meb Faber Show (Not consistent with quality).
5. HBR Ideacast (Not exactly a venture capital focusing podcast, but you'll pick up a few things here and there).

Invest like the Best has some of the most profound interviews on investing, I have ever listened to..
