About the technology

Why do eight out of ten tech startups fail? Is it inevitable? In Tech Startup Toolkit, nine-time tech startup founder Jothy Rosenberg tells you how to beat the odds. Part memoir and part survival guide, this book delivers battle-tested, unvarnished advice on capital, culture, boards, marketing, and management.

About the book

Tech Startup Toolkit covers everything a new founder needs to ensure a great idea can become a stable tech company that's ripe for acquisition. In 31 short anecdotes from Jothy's extensive experience, you'll learn how to pitch investors, develop a go-to-market strategy, and build the leadership skills that really matter for a great startup CEO. And since forewarned is forearmed, you'll also find strategies to handle challenges like funding loss, competition, and unpredictable crises like Covid-19 that break lesser startups.

What's inside

- Succeed as a first-time CEO
- Create a strong positive culture
