The Builder's Guide to the Tech Galaxy (eBook)

Successfully navigate the tricky middle stages of startup growth between launch and IPO

Are you scaling a startup but don't belong to the fortunate few who have done so multiple times already? Many startup builders simply do not have the time to read over hundreds of books, blogs, and podcasts while distilling all this information down into practical lessons.

That's why The Builder's Guide to the Tech Galaxy does it for you. The authors have drawn on forty years of combined experience in building companies and interviewed close to 100 top scale-up experts from successful technology companies around the world, including Airbnb, Pinterest, N26, Zalando, Salesforce, Wayfair, AWS, GetYourGuide, Klarna and Hubspot.

As a result, The Builder's Guide to the Tech Galaxy is a handbook for startup employees, leaders, future founders, investors, corporate innovation hubs, and anyone else who is interested in entrepreneurship and scaling a technology company within months rather than years.

The authors don't focus on how to go from zero to one nor on how to take a unicorn to IPO. Instead, they hone in on the critical scale-up stage in the middle - upgrading a small pirate ship to a large spaceship.

This book is full of practical and hands-on checklists, templates, organizational charts, benchmarks, tools, and tips you can use immediately. Confidently guide the activities of your technology and product management, marketing, B2B sales, people, and others.

The book also includes forewords by Thomas Heilmann, Christian Miele, Kulraj Smagh, Klaus Hommels, Aleksandra Laska and Joël Kaczmarek.

Whether your company has ten or a hundred employees, The Builder's Guide is the essential playbook to scale successfully.
