Summary:
"Two startup company
founders
and angel investors go inside eighteen companies founded by
Harvard
Business
School
graduates, uncovering surprising lessons for success and unexpected pitfalls essential for aspiring entrepreneurs. Conventional “wisdom” holds that the most successful entrepreneurs in the world are born with a genius for starting companies, experience one lightning-bolt moment of inspiration after another, follow a tried-and-true process to scale to a billion dollars, and attract deep-pocketed investors at
every
turn. The real story is a bit more unconventional -- and much more interesting. Would-be-entrepreneurs Catalina Daniels and James Sherman, hungry to study and apply the best practices of
startups
to their own ventures, studied the nuts-and-bolts of entrepreneurship as classmates at
Harvard
Business
School
. Years later, after successfully founding and exiting several companies, and as angel investors in start-ups, they were surprised to realize that their experiences greatly differed from
what
they had been taught in
school
. HBS provided a world-class education in the basics. But there was so much they learned the hard way -- working in the trenches -- that, looking back, they wished they’d known before starting up. Inspired, Daniels and Sherman interviewed eighteen HBS graduates and entrepreneurs about their experiences founding companies such as Blue Apron, Rent the Runway, Gilt, and AdoreMe, probing them about
what
they discovered along the way and
what
they wish they had known beforehand. The authors bring these insights to life by showcasing the
founders
in their own words and giving readers the experience of chatting with these remarkable entrepreneurs over a cup of coffee. No other book has unearthed
advice
from so many HBS entrepreneurs. The result is wisdom that challenges assumptions, destroys preconceived notions, crystalizes hunches, and articulates perceptions with a depth possessed by few people in the world. Starting a
business
is hard. Seventy percent of
startups
today fail after their seed round, and less than ten percent achieve success for
founders
and investors. Faced with such a daunting threshold, aspiring entrepreneurs need all the
advice
, wisdom, and inspiration they can get.
Smart
Startups
is written for them -- a timeless record of essential knowledge that can help them avoid failure and achieve success."
