Resumen del Editor
Is your company investment grade? That's the question every business owner, investor, and employee should ask before sinking any time, energy, or cash into an organization. In 17 Reasons Your Company Is Not Investment Grade & What to Do About It, Zane Tarence, investment banker and serial entrepreneur describes the 17 interrelated characteristics that make a company investment worthy. Characteristics include: Revenue, growth rate, innovation, sales process, customer base, brand, culture, competitive advantage and more. Tarence provides specific, actionable recommendations related to all 17 characteristics that owners of companies in any industry can implement immediately.
As Tarence defines them, investment-grade companies are private companies that:
- Generate predictable cash flow
- Deliver tangible value to all stakeholders
- Attract top talent
- Can support add-on acquisitions
- Give their owners freedom
Whether owners plan to raise funds, self-fund, recapitalize, purchase, or roll up additional companies, sell, or stay in their companies forever, creating an investment-grade company is critical.
Zane Tarence has spent over 25 years creating, investing in, advising and selling technology-based businesses. He is a speaker, author, and partner and managing director of Founders Advisors, LLC, a Birmingham-based investment banking firm.

When CEOs think about the supply chain, it's usually to cut costs. But the smartest leaders see supply chain and sourcing for what they can be: hidden tools for outperforming the competition. Steve Jobs, upon returning to Apple in 1997, focused on transforming the supply chain. He hired Tim Cook - and the company sped up the development of new products, getting them into consumers' hands faster. The rest is history.

Based on an acclaimed professor's legendary strategy course at Harvard Business School, The Strategist offers a radically new perspective on a leader's most vital role. "Are you a strategist?" That's the first question Cynthia Montgomery asks the business owners and senior executives from all over the world who participate in her highly regarded executive education course. It's not a question they anticipate, but by the time the program ends, they cannot imagine leading their companies to success without being - and living the role of - a strategist.

Imagine what Atari might have achieved if Steve Jobs had stayed there to develop the first massmarket personal computer. Or what Steve Case might have done for PepsiCo if he hadn't left for a gaming start-up that eventually became AOL. What if Salomon Brothers had kept Michael Bloomberg, or Bear Stearns had exploited the inventive ideas of Stephen Ross? Scores of top-tier entrepreneurs worked for established corporations before they struck out on their own and became self-made billionaires.

Finding the right venture capitalist to back your start-up is a challenge. Even if you manage to get backing, you want your VC to be a partner, not some dictator who will undermine your vision and take control of your life's work. Jeffrey Bussgang is one of a very few people who have played on both sides of this high-stakes game. Now he draws on his unique perspective to offer high-level insights, colorful stories, and practical advice. He reveals how to get noticed, perfect a pitch, and negotiate a partnership that works for everyone.

Do yourself a favor and read it.
Look...there’s a ton of people out there on social media that claim to have the secret for taking your business and getting it ready for this glorious exit path. I have no doubt some of them have value, but likewise, I'm sure there's a healthy amount of B.S., too. This book cuts straight to the point and gives you stepping stones to getting your company ready for exit. In fact, even if you don't want to exit and you're looking to just build a company that doesn't rely on YOU, then Zane does a brilliant job of pinpointing the areas in your business that need attention in order for it to be autonomous. If you're looking to exit, then do yourself a favor and read it.

Great book
I could not have enjoyed this book any more. We are building a company now with the help of Brandon and Brian Barker and their partners at ConcertIDC. In fact Brandon recommended my son and o read this book. It is worth every minute. I’m already using things I learned and am pleased that other thing we already believe and are doing were confirmed and encouraged herein. I would love it if Zane would consider being on the FreightRunner board of advisors.

Not Investment Grade / Unlistenable
Content is excellent. Clearly they know what a top tier business should look like. That said, the audio production, specifically the constant inhaling by the narrator, is incredibly distracting. Of all the audiobooks I’ve listened to over the years, this one is maybe the worst audio production I’ve ever heard. Perhaps the author should take his own advice and invest more in engineering than in sales. As far as a digital business card for this author and his firm, this clearly raises more questions than answers relative to competence. How attentive to detail are they? Why is this production still being sold? Can I get my money back?
