startup knowledge, accelerate your career, and navigate your way to
StartUpLand success." -- Huffington Post"My strategic self loved
this book because it empowers you to execute and and gives you the
ability to dive deeper pending your interests; the resources that
Jeffrey recommends for you (books, articles, courses) are listed
out at the end of each chapter." -- HuffPostAdvance Praise for
Entering StartUpLand:Brad Feld, Managing Director, Foundry Group;
cofounder, Techstars--
"The world is full of books for founders, but there are very few
books for joiners. Entering StartUpLand provides an invaluable,
step-by-step guide to various startup roles and responsibilities. A
must-read for both aspiring and experienced visitors to
StartUpLand!"Eric Ries, author, The Lean Startup--
"Just as the The Lean Startup has become a must-read for founders,
Entering StartUpLand should be required reading for any joiner. The
book is a sweeping and insightful view into a startup's full range
of operations and entry points. I highly recommend it."Danielle
Morrill, cofounder and CEO, Mattermark--
"Joining startups early in my career changed the trajectory of my
career, and my life, in ways I never could have imagined. For those
curious and brave enough to take a detour from the more predictable
path of corporate life, Entering StartUpLand is a valuable guide to
making the leap and understanding how startups work. I wish this
book had been around for me, my coworkers, and my employees these
past ten years."Tom Eisenmann, Professor of Entrepreneurship,
Harvard Business School--
"Startups are changing the world, but it can be hard for outsiders
to figure out how to join one. This book is a breakthrough. It
describes the different roles at startups, the skills you need to
succeed in them, and the best path for acquiring those skills and
landing a great job."
