# Feel like investors are speaking a foreign language? Nitin Khanna helps translate it into English, baby!

As every startup knows, investment speak can be cryptic, at best. But luckily, we have folks decoding it for us.

[Foundry Group](http://foundrygroup.com/ "Foundry Group") partners and Urban Airship backers [Brad Feld](http://twitter.com/bfeld "Brad Feld") and [Jason Mendelson](https://twitter.com/#!/jasonmendelson "Jason Mendelson") created a Rosetta Stone with [Venture Deals](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470929820/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=return02-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0470929820). And now, [MergerTech](http://mergertech.com "MergerTech")‘s [Nitin Khanna](http://twitter.com/n_khanna "Nitin Khanna") has provided another [quick cheat sheet for English, baby!](http://www.englishbaby.com/lessons/5958 "Investment Banking English with MergerTech CEO Nitin Khanna")
