About this title

Synopsis

Your venture's biggest risk isn't your product - it's your people.

Most ventures don't fall apart because of bad timing or flawed execution. They fall apart because the team breaks down. Misaligned co-founders. Toxic culture. Leadership gaps. Hiring the wrong people at the wrong time.

Beyond the Garage is your guide to building the team that builds the company.

Whether you're a founder launching your first idea, an investor supporting early-stage startups, an educator shaping tomorrow's entrepreneurs, or a leader navigating team growth - this book gives you the insight and tools to lead with clarity and build teams that last.

Startup advisor and researcher Dr. Sudhir Mehta blends academic insight with decades of real-world leadership to help you:

• Understand founder psychology and team dynamics
• Choose the right co-founder - and avoid the wrong ones
• Split equity fairly and define early roles
• Hire and onboard your first 10 employees strategically
• Resolve conflict and build trust under pressure
• Evolve from founder to leader as your company scales
• Apply practical tools like hiring scorecards, founder-fit assessments, and investor readiness diagnostics

With a mix of storytelling, diagrams, and actionable worksheets, Beyond the Garage is a founder-friendly playbook - no MBA jargon, no corporate fluff - just what you need to build the team that builds your venture.

If you want your startup to succeed, don't just build the product. Build the team that builds the company.
