High Tech Startup
The Complete Handbook for Creating Successful New High Tech Companies
About the book
Start-up expert John Nesheim covers every key phase of a high-tech company, from first idea to initial public offering. Fewer than six in a million business plans sent to venture capital firms ever reach an IPO. Nesheim argues that many founders fail for lack of lessons drawn from real ventures. The revised edition includes 23 case studies of start-ups that succeeded, with tables showing how much founders and investors made from each. Its practical guidance spans writing a business plan, valuing the firm, how venture capitalists work and earn, other sources of funding, choosing a lawyer and protecting intellectual property. Nesheim writes for first-time high-tech entrepreneurs and for those already inside a start-up.
Lucas Morales, founder and CEO of Zeall.us, called it a bit dated but revealing about how investment has changed, and said it helped with planning for being a cockroach rather than a unicorn.

High Tech Startup: The Complete Handbook for Creating Successful New High Tech Companies by John L. Nesheim is a bit dated, but because of that, its very revealing as to how investment has changed over the years. I have always felt unease about the trend of “unicorns”, and subscribe more to the approach of being a “cockroach”. This book helped me better understand how to strategize for being a cockroach.
