Synopsis
A definitive book for any CEO first time or otherwise of a high-growth company While big company CEOs are usually groomed for the job for years, startup CEOs arent and theyre often young and relatively inexperienced in business in general., Praise for Startup CEO "One of the key principles of the Lean Startup movement is that entrepreneurship is management. In Startup CEO, Matt Blumberg provides a comprehensive guide to every facet of entrepreneurial management. An essential and practical guide for entrepreneurs everywhere." Eric Ries, author, The Lean Startup "Theres no silver bullet for building a great company. Startup CEO deciphers the challenging, complex, uncertain, and oftentimes lonely role of a first-time CEO without oversimplifying it." Ben Horowitz, cofounder and General Partner, Andreessen Horowitz "Ive been on Matts board for more than a decade, and Ive watched him develop into one of the finest CEOs Ive had the pleasure to work with. With Startup CEO, Matt allows other entrepreneurs to profit from his years of experience and emulate his remarkable example." Fred Wilson, cofounder, Union Square Ventures "There is the one-in-a-million company that catches lightning in a bottle and grows like a weed without care and feeding. For the rest of us, theres Startup CEO , the how-to manual for getting there the old-fashioned way. This book will be your coach, mentor, and advisor in any situation you or your company are likely to encounter." David Rosenblatt, CEO, 1stdibs "Startup CEO is the definitive book for any CEO first time or otherwise of a high-growth company. While dozens of books have been written about starting businesses, its time for entrepreneurs to focus on scaling them. Matt shows them how." Brad Feld, Managing Director, Foundry Group, A definitive book for any CEO--first time or otherwise--of a high-growth company While big company CEOs are usually groomed for the job for years, startup CEOs aren't--and they're often young and relatively inexperienced in business in general. Author Matt Blumberg, a technology and marketing entrepreneur, knows this all too well. Back in 1999, he started a company called Return Path, which later became the driving force behind the creation of his blog, OnlyOnce--because "you're only a first time CEO once." Now, more than a decade later, he's written Startup CEO . As the fifth book in the StartUp Revolution series, this reliable resource is based on Blumberg's experience as a startup CEO and covers a number of issues he's faced over the dozen years he's been a CEO. Offers valuable insights into how the CEO sets the overall vision and strategy of the company and communicates it to all stakeholders Discusses how to build a company's human capital by recruiting, hiring, and retaining the very best talent Examines how a CEO must align available resources with the company's strategy in order to ensure success Addresses what it takes to master the "How" of being a CEO--from leading an executive team to managing in any type of market Engaging and informative, this book is essential reading for any, and every, CEO.
