A startup unfolds in a predictable pattern; the more aware entrepreneurs are of this pattern the better able they will be to capitalize on it. Author Howard Love calls this pattern the start-up J The toughest part of the endeavor is the time between the actual start of a new business and when the product and model are firmly established. The Start-Up J Curve gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to get through the early challenges so they can reach the primary value creation that lies beyond. Love brings thirty-five years of start-up experience to this comprehensive guide to starting a business. He outlines the six predictable stages of start-up growth and details the activities that should be undertaken at each stage to ensure success and to avoid common pitfalls. Instead of feeling lost and confused after a setback start-up founders and investors can anticipate the challenges overcome the obstacles and ride the curve to the top.
