Trajectory: Startup

Ideation to Product/Market Fit - A Handbook for Founders and Anyone Supporting Them

De: Dave Parker

Narrado por: Dave Parker

Have a startup idea? Want to launch it fast?

People often spend years on working on startup ideas that fail - and they could have known long before, had they asked the hard questions earlier. Five-time tech founder Dave Parker has been there, and in Trajectory: Startup he offers a path to get you from ideation to launch and revenue in just six months.

With a track record of starting companies from scratch, raising both angel and venture capital, and participating in eight exits as founder, operator, and board member, Parker's experience is practical and actionable. Having sold three of his own startups and closed two, Parker learned just as much from his failures as from his successes, and he brings this wit and wisdom into his writing in a transparent way. Parker shares advice on:

• What makes a good idea that makes money
• Recruiting and working with co-founders
• Asking customers what product they want (customer development)
• How to build a tech product even as a non-tech founder
• How to get out of your head, ship a product, and make your first sale

Trajectory: Startup removes the mystery from the startup process and outlines a roadmap of tasks and timeframes, with monthly milestones and resources. This pre-accelerator program will help you get the momentum you need. Skip the Executive MBA and go make money! This guide makes starting a company accessible to a broad range of founders, investors, and employees who have the spark of innovation and drive to follow their dreams.

Essential Elements of Zero to One

Dave Parker strips product market fit down to the essence of what is needed to achieve it. Some elements of this may seem simple, but it is the elegance of that simplicity that is useful.

Excellent Book

This book provided me so much helpful insight, assisted with some directional decisions I was struggling with, and reassured me I’m doing the right thing in multiple areas. Being a founder of a new venture can feel lonely, and Dave gives incredible support along the way.

Must read!

Just completed the book and have no doubt about will be thumbing through for years to come. Thank you for this amazing gift and guide!

Excellent: A must read

Dave knows what he’s talking about especially business models and finding product market fit. His honesty re: the realities facing founders is comforting because he puts founders on the right track. When founders talk with each other about the one book they’d recommend, it’s Trajectory!

Highly recommended

Simple, educational, motivating with very useful tips and tricks for aspiring founders. Loved the fact that it's narrated by Dave himself...gave it depth and genuinity.
