What avoidable problem destroys more young startups than any other?

Why is it a mistake to ask for introductions to investors?

When do you play the Ceo card?

Should you sell out?

Author and four-time founder/Ceo Dan Shapiro tells the stories of dozens of startups whose companies lived and died by the advice in these pages.

  • Funding provides the keys to venture capital, angels, and crowdfunding, plus clear advice on which approach to choose
  • Leadership lays out a path to build a strategy and culture for your team that will survive good times and bad
  • Management reveals how to manage your board, argue with your team, and play the Ceo card
  • Endgame explains how to finish a company's existence with grace, wealth, and minimal litigation
