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.

Members Reviews:

It's start-up basics with plenty of details

Overall:

It's a good book. I've been in building different businesses from scratchs for a while now, and am currently at a point where we're rising the investment. There was a lot info that is simple common sense, but common sense isn't always common practice, so it's important for someone to remind it time to time.

Pros:

1. The thing I liked the most about this book is that my startup idea seems to be very good from all sides - well researched, 10x better than everything else on the market, excellent market opportunities and many other good points. What it requires is a better feedback from users, preferably them being ready to pay for it. Indeed, I reduced my valuation of my company and understood what needs to be done to get to the valuation I strive for.

2. The approach to the subject is very, very correct. It gets people out off their dream worlds and shows them the path that a real startup would need to take.

3. Most problems that a startup will conduct are well noted here. And it starts from the very beginning, the idea, and goes to rising money and operating the business when its damn hard.

4. The narrator has an excellent voice, and is easy to listen.

5. The amount of literature references is huge, and when you know what is your weak point - youre able to go and get a specific book on the subject.

6. There are interviews/quotes from many start-upers and people who funded them, which underlines how the concepts Brad and Sean are telling us about are found important and what influence they can have in real life.

Cons:

1.
