Download or read book All In Startup written by Diana Kander and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Owen Chase can't find a way to turn his company around in the next nine days, he'll be forced to shut it down and lay off all of his employees. He has incurred substantial debt and his marriage is on shaky ground. Through pure happenstance, Owen finds himself pondering this problem while advancing steadily as a contestant at the World Series of Poker. His Las Vegas path quickly introduces him to Samantha, a beautiful and mysterious mentor with a revolutionary approach to entrepreneurship. Sam is a fountain of knowledge that may save his company, but her sexual advances might prove too much for Owen's struggling marriage. All In Startup is more than just a novel about eschewing temptation and fighting to save a company. It is a lifeline for entrepreneurs who are thinking about launching a new idea or for those who have already started but can't seem to generate the traction they were expecting. Entrepreneurs who achieve success in the new economy do so using a new "scientific method" of innovation. All In Startup demonstrates why four counterintuitive principles separate successful entrepreneurs from the wanna-preneurs who bounce from idea to idea, unable to generate real revenue. You will likely get only one opportunity in your life to go "all in" in on an idea: to quit your job, talk your spouse into letting you drain the savings account, and follow your dream. All In Startup will prepare you for that "all in" moment and make sure that you push your chips into the middle only when the odds are in your favor. This book holds the keys to significantly de-risking your idea so that your success appears almost lucky. Join Owen and Sam for this one-of-a-kind journey that will set you on the right path for when it's your turn to put everything on the line.

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.

He has gathered what no college student could get in the classroom. He provides insights from interviews he conducted with world-class angel investors, venture capitalists, IP attorneys and, of course, college student founders." - Jeff Peterson, Founder, Geneva Supply "When I started building my first startup, I quickly learned that you need to understand, finance, marketing, law, software development and more. No college major provides you all of that information, The College Student Startup Guide does." - Kristen Holtan, Co-Founder, Blue Line Battery. "The College Student Startup Guide not only provides actionable insights, but it also gives readers a step-by-step process for college entrepreneurs to follow to ensure the greatest probability of startup success." - Austin Beveridge, Marketing Manager, Bolt "Make no mistake. This is not a textbook. The College Student Startup Guide is a real-world, hard-hitting, step-by-step guide...practical, helpful, insightful, no-nonsense and sometimes funny. If you are launching a startup in college, this is a must have tool for you!" - Anna Tracy, Founder, Greet Feet "Coming up with a startup idea is easy. Successfully executing that idea into a thriving startup is a completely different story. Gee's new book, The College Student Startup Guide, helps provide college student entrepreneurs the critical insights needed to go from idea to launch." - Chris Roche, Founder, Recruit Chute "You could get several college degrees to get all of these insights, or you could just buy Gee's book, The choice is yours." - Jocelyn Kopac, Founder, The Digital Market "Launching a startup while you are in college can change your life. The College Student Startup Guide shows you how." - Ben Morales, Founder, Latino Pro "College students today have more opportunities and more demands on their time than any point in history, the stress of going to classes, studying for exams, having personal relationships and sometimes holding down a job can be overwhelming. Now, imagine trying to launch a successful startup while juggling all of these responsibilities. It may seem impossible but it's not if you have a well-executed plan. Building a solid plan means implementing the proven, critical steps that have helped college students land multi-million-dollar contracts, pitch their businesses on Shark Tank, raise millions in startup capital, and continue to grow their exciting organizations. I reflected back on the hundreds of student entrepreneurs I have helped and realized that I needed to share the best practices with these students with student entrepreneurs everywhere. But I wanted to go further, so I added interviews I conducted with world-class angel investors, venture capitalists, researchers, intellectual property attorneys and, of course, successful entrepreneurs. The end result I have created for you is The College Student Startup Guide. This book is insightful, practical, powerful, sometimes funny and can help you get ready to fulfill your entrepreneurial dreams!" -Gee

Jaye doesn't want to be seen with the kid who was called "Bug Girl" after eating a fried cricket during a trip to the zoo! But they're stuck with each other, and together try to come up with creative ways to sell bugs as food. As the competition heats up, can Hallie and Jaye make the judges say "Bug appétit!" or will they only hear crickets?
