• Finally! Theory reduced to something you can act on
  I've read tons of books on high tech startups and this is the only one where the author really understands what must happen, in what order in a systematic way. As a result he focuses you on the most important issues, in the right order, but more importantly shows you how to take action.

Mr. Blank writes as if he is talking to you at an appoint an fostering your possible problem before the time that you really face them.
