Why Startups Fail by Tom Eisenmann Pdf

If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

99 And Still In Business by William H Garrison Pdf

"99 & Still In Business" is a book about both life and business. William H. Garrison, who is 99, swore he would never retire and he hasn't.To be in business at the age of 99 is incredible. To write a book at this age also seems incredible. More importantly, what would a 99 year old have to say about business? Many would think that what an individual at this age might share would be outdated, old fashioned and not relevant. After all, aren't most individuals at that age just biding their time on planet Earth? Bill Garrison isn't an ordinary man and, even at 99, he is still thinking of projects and ways he can make them profitable. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in him. So, what is the purpose of Bill's book? His purpose is two-fold. One to have a record of his life and business accomplishments for his family. Second, he believes he still has something to say to entrepreneurs who aspire to either own or start a business. Most of us would do well to listen to our elders. The wisdom that comes from a lifetime of experience does count for something. Many of the principles in this book are far from outdated. In fact, Bill shares wisdom and timeless principles that span the decades. In the ups and downs of owning businesses, through his own successes and failures he shares the things that work and those that don't. These principles are not only important for success but can be applied to any business or industry.
