Gordon Daugherty is a seasoned business executive, entrepreneur, Startup advisor, and investor.
The author\'s own words tell it all: "I decided to write something different that best exploits the gray in my hair and the hard lessons I\'ve learned." Any Startup founder, advisor, or angel investor--regardless of their experience level--will come away with improved skills and an increased knowledge base.
Actionable tips, tricks, and aha realizations will have readers dog-earing pages and highlighting passages for future reference.
Startup Success is written in a logical sequence that follows the general life cycle of planning and executing a successful fundraising campaign.
Daugherty\'s book serves as a valuable educational and planning tool for use before the fundraising campaign begins and a reference guide for interacting and negotiating with investors after things get underway.
Startup Success dedicates a whole chapter to negotiating valuation, which, in the end, involves a serious combination of art and science to execute effectively.
Every founder cares about the valuation they will be able to negotiate with investors, and anyone who has attempted fundraising has encountered numerous debates about the valuation they\'re asking for.
In this informative and enlightening book, Gordon Daugherty demystifies the fundraising process that takes place during the Early phases of a startup\'s evolution.
With stakes this high, improving a Startup founder\'s odds of fundraising successfully--even just a little--can make a huge difference in the outcome of a venture.
If you don\'t get the Funding you need, you may either make progress at a snail\'s pace, or you may have to give up altogether.
But most Startup founders have never run a company--much less had to secure Funding to reach crucial milestones.
After some meetings with an equally passionate cofounder, you discover you have a creative idea, the outline of a business plan, and a willingness to spend nights and weekends doing really hard work.
