THE HOW-TO GUIDE FOR INNOVATORS TO IMPROVE THEIR IDEAS AND SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCH THEM THROUGH THE POWER OF NARRATIVE In a world that’s been turned upside down by a pandemic, social upheavals, environmental disasters, and economic disruptions, the need for reinvention is paramount. While many entrepreneurs and innovators have brilliant ideas, they desperately need the skills to successfully articulate their vision to investors, prospective customers, employees, and stakeholders. In this informative and empowering book, David Riemer breaks down the storytelling clutter so you can gain the attention you need to be successful. Storytelling is foundational. If you have a groundbreaking invention in mind or have a plan to solve worldwide problems, Get Your Startup Story Straight is the tool you need to create better customer-focused solutions, motivate more backers to your project, and ultimately dominate in the market. Broken down into three acts, this book will allow you to discover the building blocks of your narrative, the storytelling techniques to convey your ideas clearly, and the archetypes for inspiration. The author’s own words tell it all: “Innovators are ubiquitous nowadays, and for this community, storytelling is essential.” If you are a creator struggling to get others on board, this is the handbook to refine your story to guide your product strategy, shape your company, and ultimately improve lives.

Children Stories For Startups ... BIG is the future of SMALL.We all love stories, don't we?The entire concept of Story Telling is brilliant. While it is fun for the listener, the narrator ends by pushing through a little Learning at the end. Which is why it has been going on for ages as far back as a few centuries, or more. So storytelling, we believe, was one of the first successful Startups in human history, considering its still in business!Now let us tell 'you' a story. About two childhood friends, sleep-time tales & Startup morals hidden within them. Deepak Kapoor & Rajiv Sharma met in school more than three decades ago. That Startup relationship has flowered and matured into a blooming friendship which has stood the test of time & events. Both well cured into their respective careers.51 weeks back the idea of this book was born. We wanted to make things simple, very simple, just basic. Mostly because Startups get a lot of heavy loaded information from 'experts' who specialize in making simple things complex (well, that'll be a story for another time). It was agreed that our mission is to find the simplest way to Startup learning. Nothing simpler than Children Stories.Rajiv Sharma is a very accomplished Finance Professional in a leading role with one of the finest Hospitals in India. He contributes to his industry through leadership support at the Institute of Cost Accountants of India. When he is not analysing cost numbers, he is writing Children Stories.Deepak Kapoor is the founding team member of the BPO Association of India at CII. His contribution towards policy intervention in the BPO/ IT businesses are well known. You may say he is an advanced practitioner in the art of 'failing, to succeed' but sails in deep calm waters. A hopeless romantic for all things logically audacious, he does not believe in giving up. He shares his stories with Startups, at Business Schools & Industry Forums, showing them where the reefs are. Ah! And also the sharks 'we see' (pun intended).If you are a Startup, up-your-antennae because our stories & their morals may be too simple. Too simple to understand sometimes, if you are not evolved enough. Irony! No, only reason. Just like atoms are the simplest particles, yet they can only be seen with a microscope. You get the drift. And yeah, our stories are just a bit different from your average bed time story. They are wake-up calls!So then ... people Startup your engines!Children Stories by: Rajiv SharmaStartup Morals by: Deepak Kapoor

No one tells you that: • Money is seldom the reason why people don’t start businesses – fear of money is. • Failures will far outnumber successes. Make failure a friend. Become familiar with it – know how to look it in the eye and find out more about it. • People do business with people they like and are familiar with. To most people, YOU are the business. • There is no good or bad investor; there are only right or wrong investors. • What makes an entrepreneur special is the bridge of intelligence between the left and the right brain, the bridge between Business and Art. Through this never-before-seen side of entrepreneurship, Karthik Kumar explores the various emotional challenges an entrepreneur faces and also tells you how to overcome them. Don’t Startup is not about giving you the knowledge and the know-hows of starting up. It is about imparting the wisdom that Karthik has gained from his journey and how that wisdom will be the strength in yours.

The phrase innovation theater is almost self-explanatory. Almost. The two words tell the story about a rapidly growing phenomenon within the startup eco-system where millions of euros and dollars are being poured into creating innovation with processes, consultants and accelerator programs. Oftentimes these efforts unfortunately have the direct opposite effect. They become more for show than for concrete results. Innovation theater kills startups. It is a patient disease that creeps its way into young companies without the employees even noticing it. It is especially dangerous combined with the ever-growing popularity of partnerships between startups and corporates. This book tells the story about how innovation theater in the end killed a young startup. It is an eyewitness story told by one of the founders, who points to 10 different lessons learned and how other startups (and corporates) can avoid the death by innovation theater.

Now available in paperback—with a new preface and interview with Jessica Livingston about Y Combinator! Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company. Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover? Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done. But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businesses do—create value—more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you.

The real story of what it takes to risk it all and go for broke. Conventional wisdom says most startups need to be in Silicon Valley, started by young engineers around a sexy new idea, and backed by VC funding. But as Mikkel Svane reveals in Startupland, the story of founding Zendesk was anything but conventional. Founded in a Copenhagen loft by three thirty-something friends looking to break free from corporate doldrums, Zendesk Inc. is now one of the hottest enterprise software companies, still rapidly growing with customers in 150 countries. But its success was anything but predestined. With revealing stories both funny and frank, Mikkel shares how he and his friends bravely left secure jobs to start something on their own, how he almost went broke several times, how they picked up themselves and their families to travel across the world to California and the unknown, and how the three friends were miraculously still together for Zendesk's IPO and (still growing) success. Much like Zendesk's mission itself—to remove friction, barriers, and mystery in order to make customer service easier and more approachable—Startupland removes some of the myths about startups and startup founders. Mikkel's advice, hard-won through experience, often bucks conventional wisdom and entrepreneurial tropes. He shares why failure (whether fast or slow) is awful, why a seemingly boring product or idea can be the most exciting, why giving back to the community is as important as the bottom line. From how to hire right (look for people who are not offended by swearing) to which personas generate the highest response rates, Mikkel answers the most pressing questions from the perspective of someone still in the trenches and willing to share the hard truth, warts and all. While there are books by consultants who tell you how to build businesses, or by entrepreneurs now running billion-dollar businesses, there are few books from people still in the trenches who acutely remember the difficult daily decisions, the thrill (and fears) of the early days, the problems that scale with growing a business, and the reason why they all went on the adventure in the first place. Startupland is indispensable reading for all entrepreneurs who want to make their ideas the next big thing. The book will inspire and empower you to follow your own dream and create your own story.

Have a startup idea? Want to launch it fast? People often spend years on working on startup ideas that fail—and they could have known long before, had they asked the hard questions earlier. Five-time tech founder Dave Parker has been there, and in Trajectory: Startup he offers a path to get you from ideation to launch and revenue in just six months. With a track record of starting companies from scratch, raising both angel and venture capital, and participating in eight exits as founder, operator, and board member, Parker's experience is practical and actionable. Having sold three of his own startups and closed two, Parker learned just as much from his failures as from his successes, and he brings this wit and wisdom into his writing in a transparent way. Parker shares advice on: • What makes a good idea that makes money • Recruiting and working with cofounders • Asking customers what product they want (customer development) • How to build a tech product even as a non-tech founder • How to get out of your head, ship a product, and make your first sale Trajectory: Startup removes the mystery from the startup process and outlines a roadmap of tasks and timeframes, with monthly milestones and resources. This pre-accelerator program will help you get the momentum you need. Skip the Executive MBA and go make money! This guide makes starting a company accessible to a broad range of founders, investors, and employees who have the spark of innovation and drive to follow their dreams.
