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
There’s 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
I’ve been on Matt’s board for more than a decade, and I’ve watched him develop into one of the finest CEOs I’ve 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, there’s 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, it’s time for entrepreneurs to focus on scaling them. Matt shows them how.
–Brad Feld, Managing Director, Foundry Group
