A Quick And Dirty Guide To Starting Up
The document provides a guide for starting a startup. Some key points include: - Focus on practical and counterintuitive ideas in large addressable markets. Successful startups often began as hobbies. - Compress your working life into 4 intense years of high productivity and risk, deferring compensation for potential high rewards. - Find a co-founder who is determined and willing to do any job required without needing management. - Keep products simple and test ideas directly with customers through early releases and marketing. Simplify until only essential features remain. - Raise funding through an auction process by knowing the market opportunity and being introduced by prior investors. Valuation is temporary but control is permanent.
