Inhaltsangabe:

Does your tech startup have – in you – what it takes to survive and thrive?

Great tech simply isn’t enough, and many first-time technical founders don’t know what they don’t know. Books on business strategy are abundant, but candid, practical advice is hard to find from technical founders who have “walked the path” and received an MBA from the “School of Hard Knocks." To the first-time technical startup founder, most business books focused on startup strategies might seem inaccessible, outdated, and off-topic.

To that end, Eldon Sprickerhoff, cofounder of cybersecurity firm eSentire, has assembled a list of everything he didn’t know as a first-time technical startup founder before his firm rocketed to a valuation of over $1 billion, including: finding product-market fit, raising early- stage capital, competing against bigger and better-funded competitors, building resilience, pushing through failure—and dealing with success.

In Committed, Sprickerhoff offers readers “survival strategies” that encourage technical founders to embrace their new title, the one that matters most: Chief Survival Officer.
