Venture: The Startup Bible is like hiring a high-level consultant to
deal with the bewildering maze of issues from finance to marketing to technology
that all entrepreneurs face. Every business is nothing but a series of decisions
which can make or break the business. You could say that, if there's a science
of business, it's the science of making good decisions. And every bootstrap
entrepreneur faces the daunting task of making ALL the business decisions, any
one of which could either doom the enterprise or catapult it to stratospheric
success. That meas that every entrepreneur has to quickly get up to speed on
every issue their business faces. Shoestring
Venture: The Startup Bible is the most exhaustive set of practical
resources collected to empower entrepreneurs to make the right decisions on
a limited budget, from business concept to product development to Web marketing.
We call a "consultant in a book," there to give considered and experienced
answers to the infinite questions that come up.
