Customer Reviews
Lots of highlight-worthy info. An easy-to-digest format.
While more expensive than many e-books, the information contained is worth the price of admission.
The best 101 into startup world
This book gave me a great understanding about the magical world of startups. I wish more books were written like this one!
Truly a great book!
Thanks!
Wish this book was around 10 years ago.
I've been working non-stop for 10 years trying to gain critical mass in my company and recently felt it was time to close up shop. I can't remember who suggested this book, but I had the sample in iBooks and was instantly hooked to buy and read the full book. Brad and David did a wonderful job compiling so much helpful wisdom for the technology entrepreneur. They gave me confirmation in what I have accomplished with my company, yet really pointed out the things I'm way off with and provided the remedy. I have since changed my whole perspective and applied their advice to see a complete turn around in my business and personal life.
This is a must read for any tech entrepreneur whether you are at the beginning, middle, or end of your business. Also I will be making this a mandatory read for all staff and partners.
My heart felt thanks to David and Brad and all the other awesome mentors that contributed. Hopefully one day our paths will cross where I can personally shake both of your hands.
