Resumen del Editor
Veteran venture capitalist Randy Komisar and finance executive Jantoon Reigersman share no-nonsense, counterintuitive guidelines to help anyone build a successful startup.
Over the course of their careers, Randy Komisar and Jantoon Reigersman continue to see startups crash and burn because they forget the timeless lessons of entrepreneurship.
But, as Komisar and Reigersman show, you can beat the odds if you quickly learn what insiders know about what it takes to build a healthy foundation for a thriving venture. In Straight Talk for Startups they walk budding entrepreneurs through 100 essential rules - from pitching your idea to selecting investors to managing your board to deciding how and when to achieve liquidity.
Culled from their own decades of experience, as well as the experiences of their many successful colleagues and friends, the rules are organized under broad topics, from "Mastering the Fundamentals" and "Selecting the Right Investors," to "The Ideal Fundraise," "Building and Managing Effective Boards," and "Achieving Liquidity."
Vital rules you’ll find in Straight Talk for Startups include:
- The best ideas originate from founders who are users
- Create two business plans: an execution plan and an aspirational plan
- Net income is an option, but cash flow is a fact
- Don’t accept money from strangers
- Personal wealth doesn’t equal good investing
- Small boards are better than big ones
- Add independent board members for expertise and objectivity
- Too many unanimous board decisions are a sign of trouble
- Choose an acquirer, don’t wait to be chosen
- Learn the rules by heart so you know when to break them
Filled with helpful real-life examples and specific, actionable advice, Straight Talk for Startups is the ideal audiobook for anyone running, working for, or thinking about creating a startup, or just curious about what makes high-potential ventures tick.

Historia
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.

Historia
To make these big moves happen for your company, you’re going to have to break through inertia, gamesmanship, and risk aversion. You’re going to have to mitigate human biases and manage group dynamics. Eight practical shifts can help you do this, and unlock bigger, bolder, better strategies. This is not another by-the-book approach to strategy. It’s not another trudge through frameworks or small-scale case studies promising a secret formula for success. It’s an irreverent, fact-driven, and humorous take on the real world of strategic decision making.

Historia
In The Happiness Track, Emma Seppala, the science director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University, explains that our inability to achieve sustainable fulfillment is tied to common but outdated notions about success. We are taught that getting ahead means doing everything that's thrown at us (and then some) with razor-sharp focus and iron discipline; that success depends on our drive and talents.

The rules of relationships have changed. In our generational movement toward wholeness, women want to be more than mothers and homemakers, and men aspire to loving relationships rather than simply being warriors and work machines. The age-old distinctions between male and female roles have blurred, and the rules of relationships have not yet caught up, creating confusion and frustration.

I’m friends with Randy and wish I’d read this sooner
As I said, I’m friends with Randy I wish I’d read this book sooner, because it would’ve avoided some mistakes with my last start up. We sold, they could’ve done much better. This time we read the book and I think will do much better.
This is, in my vast experience (6 startups) an essential and quick double read that can definitely save you time and grief.

Honest, tough love
I like the perspective of startup life from the point of view of investors. Most of the points seem to apply to startups with a lot of traction but may also be applicable to early stage ventures. The rules also cover a lot of external stakeholders management which complements the other inward focused books quite well.

Well worth the investment of time.
Very well organized book. Simple approach to pushing out a lot of excellent information. As a heavier user of audiobooks, It’s important for authors voice to read it. I have marked a number of key rules and took quite a few notes.

Good reminder for founders
This book is a quite good reminder for an early stage reminders about what they should focus on. In my opinion it will be relevant for an early-stage startups who are raising their seed round or even round A of funding.
I felt that may points in the book are repeated several times, and could have been condensed into a shorter write-up.

Highly recommend
John Doerr recommended “Straight Talk for Startups” in his “Measure What Matters” book. I loved the former, so I decided to give a go to the latter. Very glad I did. Really, really good book. I’ll be re-reading it regularly.
