9781626342927: Start-Up J Curve: The Six Steps to Entrepreneurial Success

Synopsis

A predictable pattern of success Entrepreneurs who have read early drafts of The Start-Up J Curve responded, ""I wish I had this book years ago."" A startup unfolds in a predictable pattern; the more aware entrepreneurs are of this pattern, the better able they will be to capitalize on it. Author Howard Love calls this pattern the J Curve : The toughest part of the endeavor is the time between the actual start and when the product and model are firmly established. The Start-Up J Curve gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to get through the early challenges so they can reach the primary value creation that lies beyond. Love brings thirty-five years of start-up experience to this comprehensive guide to starting a business. He outlines the six predictable stages of start-up growth and details the activities that should be undertaken at each stage to ensure success and to avoid common pitfalls. Instead of feeling lost and confused after a setback, start-up founders and investors can anticipate the challenges, overcome the obstacles, and ride the curve to the top.

Review

"I ve been lucky to collaborate with Howard as an investor, advisor and co-founder - he's made me a better entrepreneur, and by reading this book, he'll make you one too. ---- Sam Shank, CEO, Hotel Tonight (06/28/2016)"

"The J Curve is a must-read for any entrepreneur, whether first-time or seasoned! Howard s genius is that he understands and empathizes with the entrepreneurial experience and how humbling it can be while also giving insight into and support as to why the challenges are of crucial benefit to the process of building a truly successful company. Entrepreneurs can use Howard s practical insights to better understand the realistic stages to expect in starting a company in a way that is demystifying and empowering, and quite honestly, provides an appreciated element of sanity to the often crazed entrepreneurial experience. Highly recommend!"---- Sara Sutton-Fell, CEO, FlexJobs (06/28/2016)"

"Howard Love is a deeply experienced entrepreneur and early stage investor. This book is a culmination of many years of seeing successes and failures, what works and what doesn't. I highly recommend this book to entrepreneurs who want to make their own unique mistakes, rather than repeating the mistakes of others. ---- Bill Ericson, General Partner Mohr Davidow (06/28/2016)"

"As I begin another "pivot" in my own business, I find myself wishing that Howard had written this book years ago...when I began my own entrepreneurial journey. It would have been a tremendous roadmap and guide for the many twists and turns I faced. The J Curve is a must-read for any aspiring entrepreneur, yet I am confident that start-up vets like myself will also find many new insights as well. Howard presents a fresh and spot-on approach to understanding the growth stages, and do's / don't's for each stage, of the entrepreneurial process, all based on his own vast experience starting and backing multiple companies."---- Mark Divine, founder of SEALFIT, The Coronado Brewing Company, NavySEALS.com, and NYT Best Selling author of The Way of the SEAL and Unbeatable Mind (06/28/2016)

Howard gives you an invaluable framework for understanding where you are with your startup and how to progress to success. ---- Pete Flint, Co-Founder of Trulia (06/28/2016)"
