About this title

From the Author

I have written this simple and actionable step by step guide to share my global research findings on how to start a startup business based on innovation or innovative business idea. This is not another one "me too" startup book that only repeats the same ideas of the lean startup methodology, minimal viable product or so popular topic of growth hacking.

There are many marketing books and most of them are really worth reading.Actually, I've read more than 50 books related to startup marketing and development, and it took quite while! :) But now you are looking at a comprehensive guide how to transform your innovative ideas into a profitable and scalable startup business. In order to write it, I've surveyed 1,447 startups in different countries and different development stages. In addition, I had nearly 500 in-depth interviews with startup founders seeking to find out what worked best for them and could be implemented in other startups.

I sincerely believe you'll find this startup marketing manual helpful for achieving at least one of three main goals:

1. Secure your first sales and ensure that you have something that can become a scalable startup business.
2. Find the most suitable investors for your startup and be well prepared to make a deal with them.
3. Identify business growth possibilities and employ a growth hacking mindset to accelerate your startup growth at the right time and in the right way.

This startup marketing manual won't save you from all possible failures, but it will definitely provide you with many "Aha!" moments. It's time to test your startup ideas in the right way and build a solid foundation for your startup business.
 
Take the action and read this book, don't lose the momentum! Cheers!
