Publisher's Summary

Being a startup CEO is a job like no other: it's difficult, risky, stressful, lonely, and often learned through trial and error. As a startup CEO seeing things for the first time, you're likely to make mistakes, fail, get things wrong, and feel like you don't have any control over outcomes. Author Matt Blumberg has been there, and in Startup CEO he shares his experience, mistakes, and lessons learned as he guided Return Path from a handful of employees and no revenues to over $100 million in revenues and 500 employees.

Startup CEO is not a memoir of Return Path's 20-year journey but a thoughtful CEO-focused book that provides first-time CEOs with advice, tools, and approaches for the situations that startup CEOs will face. You'll learn: how to tell your story to new hires, investors, and customers for greater alignment; how to create a values-based culture for speed and engagement; how to create business and personal operating systems so that you can balance your life and grow your company at the same time; how to develop, lead, and leverage your board of directors for greater impact; and how to ensure that your company is bought, not sold, when you exit.

Startup CEO is the field guide every CEO needs throughout the growth of their company.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Très bon livre qui couvre plusieurs sujets

Un livre à avoir pour connaître ou rafraîchir certains concepts. Je compte m’en servir comme référence en matière de gestion et d’entrepreneuriat.

Should be called Start up CEO for Billionaires

This might be fine for people on their second or third startup, or someone with a lot better f money to invest up front, but mot a lot of practical advice for anyone starting out. Doesn’t address the challenge of bootstrapping or how to get around funding with no startup experience. And you grow very tired of sentences starting out with “At Return Path…” I will finish the book, and seek out a takeaway, but I still await a better book for first time startup CEOs starting from scratch.
