5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must read' for ennterpreneurs starting new buisnesses, March 21, 2006
David's insight into the issues related to starting a high tech business is profound. His experience and real life examples make this complex process easy to understand and appreciate. I have personally worked with David and find his ability to verbalize the strengths for a startup is extraordinary. His book reflects the same abilities.
