The Smarter Startup: A Better Approach to Online Business for Entrepreneurs (Voices That Matter) 1st Edition

Heard it all before. I was expecting to read something unique and instead it was a rehash of the same common wisdom which so often proves untrue.

Short

Really interesting discussion on how to find market opportunity and to reduce cost through market research and automation. Lean methodology and the Lean Startup teaches us to build minimal viable products and vie early and frequent input from our customers to more quickly arrive at product-market fit. This book takes it a step further by saying pivoting is bad because it means you were wrong and wasted a lot of resources figuring it out - and asserts that a lot of the product-market fit discovery can actually be done through detailed research and market simulations that don't require months of time and money investment. Its like predictive Lean modeling, so to speak.

not what I was expecting. What not helpful to build my startup.

A definite addition to your references to begin planning your new business. I got fired so many times, that the only thing left was to be my own boss.

No new insights. I wouldn't waste my money.

great book, includes everything you need to start your own business

Love this book!

This book promises much and delivers little. Its like an English "A' level grade book, some interesting parts but not that insightful and as you go through the book, you start speed reading in the hope of finding some nuggets of information that you are few and far between. Not recommended.

Despite what I expect from the website [...] the book was mainly a collection of advices.The core part for my purposes was the framework one and I loved it, the resrt was good but unesufull for my objectives.
