Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Book excerpt: WEALTH CREATING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES WHO ARE GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURS? There is a new breed of entrepreneurs today – the Global Entrepreneur. They are different from past entrepreneurs; they are completely wired for Information Age businesses, they know how to harness knowledge and technology, and frequently engage a network of global business partners to help operate their international ventures. The Global Entrepreneur understands that the soft assets of knowledge and technology are greater creators of wealth than hard assets such as land, equipment, factories and mines. They realize the management models and organizational paradigms of the Industrial Era are giving way to a fresh appreciation of virtualization, strategic alliances, empowerment of individuals, and a new understanding that plentitude creates wealth. What is really new is that Global Entrepreneurs frequently use virtual organizations, virtual products, and micro-virtual manufacturing processes to develop efficient global ventures. They are strongly motivated towards creating a global enterprise for generating substantial personal wealth. WHO SHOULD BUY THIS BOOK? There are three individual groups who will benefit from reading this book. Nascent Entrepreneurs. These are individuals who are thinking about owning a business, but haven’t taken the leap.

Download or read book Building Companies Building Communities written by National Commission on Entrepreneurship and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of public policy factors affecting entrepreneurs was conducted through 18 focus groups including more than 250 U.S. entrepreneurs. Two questions were addressed: how can policymakers lay the policy foundation needed by an entrepreneurial economy, and how can more communities become "entrepreneurial hotspots?" Four general themes emerged from the focus groups: (1) the biggest challenge faced by the participants was finding and keeping talented people; (2) a successful entrepreneurial community depends on the local business culture (and especially networks); (3) good public policy maintains the entrepreneurial boom; and (4) the needs of entrepreneurs are mostly ignored by local economic development policies. Four key issues or needs were identified: (1) access to people, (2) access to seed capital, (3) access to information and infrastructure, and (4) proper relationship of government to entrepreneurs. The focus groups identified five critical local and regional factors needed for entrepreneurs to thrive: (1) diversity in sources of capital, (2) an enabling culture, (3) strong local networks, (4) a supportive infrastructure, and (5) "entrepreneur-friendly" government. Five broad policy implications emerged: (1) focus on people, (2) fund infrastructure needs, (3) re-examine the role of colleges and universities, (4) symbols matter, and (5) seed local networks. The secret of an entrepreneurial community is how regional development strategies and networks work together. Government's most effective tool is to stimulate building of networks and spur regional commitment to entrepreneurial development.
