Publisher's summary

Start strong with essential early-stage guidance from the VC perspective.

Startup Opportunities is the go-to guide for anyone with a great business idea. Whether it's your first business or your fifth, realistic assessment from the outset can save you a lot of time and money; why pour your heart and soul into a venture that is doomed to fail? Instead, position yourself to win from the very beginning. In this book, accomplished venture capitalists share their insight on startups and entrepreneurs: who will fail, who will succeed and why, and what you should do to give your business the very best shot at becoming a global success story. You'll learn how to evaluate your business with a critical eye and how early customer development can be key in turning a good idea into a great opportunity. If you're serious about building a business that lasts, this book provides invaluable guidance that you really cannot miss.

More than five million people will launch a business this year, and many of them will be great ideas - yet few will be around in five years, and even fewer in 10 years. A great idea is not enough to build a successful business. You need to fortify your idea with the proper foundation and a scaffolding of good planning and early action. This book shows you how.

  • Assess your business' viability using the 10x Rule
  • Learn when you can quit your day job - or not
  • Take the key steps to making your business succeed
  • Discover the opportunities worth selling everything for

This expert author team has witnessed more than 30,000 pitches over two decades and have participated in over 500 startup launches. Startup Opportunities gives you the benefit of their experience to help you start strong and stay strong.

Get the original version read by Sean Wise.

This second version ...Sean, what happened Stephen Hoye, does not do you justice.
If you are a listener, and want the value of this content, get the older version Narrated by Sean,
and then buy the new print version of the book and let your minds ear read the new material with Seans exuberance.
Stephen Hoye, just doesn't do this content justice.
