Editorial Reviews

Product Description

(3rd Edition) In the last chapter, the author compares finding co-founders with dating ... 1) Most entrepreneurs have lots of experience practicing alone, but little time doing it with someone else; 2) Diversity is important. You need to go outside of your gene pool, never do it with family; 3) Two bagger is not an option. It is tough to get up in the morning knowing that you are opening you eyes to ugly; 4) Don’t complain about fleas if you slept with the dogs; 5) Be sure to protect yourself; 6) Stay away from “virgins”; 7) Forget about your ex’s, no one cares; 8) Don’t sleep with strangers; 9) Each try different positions, more fun that way; and finally 10) Stop obsessing the “orgasm.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, June 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Survival Guide for "Slow Start" Entrepreneurs (Kindle Edition)
This book is an easy read. It provides a direct, candid accounting of the author's experience in high tech startups and VC financing. After building valuation for VC and failed, Denny learns to build his 2nd startup by creating value that solves a problem burning a holes in his customer's pocket. It ultimately led to his success. This book is an excellent reference for both experience and inexperience entreprenuers. It is now on my reference bookshelves.

I've participated in raising VC financing to create valuation and I've also worked for a very successful boss who does not even know the term VC. When I am ready to start my journey, this book will be an indispensible travel companion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read, June 26, 2011
This review is from: Survival Guide for "Slow Start" Entrepreneurs (Kindle Edition)
This is a good read. Professor Miu has given all entrepreneurs a homework assignment with an open-book test...NOT a POP QUIZ... at the end.

Professor Miu is wise, insightful, witty and irreverent. Much of the book is an allegory of life and start-ups...especially, Chapter 3 about decisions.

I wish I had had this book in 1970 when I did my first VC/start-up that resulted in an IPO. It would have been much easier. A first class definition of VCs and entrepreneurs...their needs, motivations and expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars He Tells it Like it Is, June 19, 2011

This review is from: Survival Guide for "Slow Start" Entrepreneurs (Kindle Edition)
This book says a lot of things that need to be said about the process of starting and funding companies. It is highly readable, extremely direct, and its conclusions and advice conform to my experiences, both bitter and happy. Dr. Miu has a lot to tell entrepreneurs, and, yes, the venture capital community. Read it. Edward Tuck, Principal, Falconfund.
