Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

You've got a hot idea for a new dot.com. You're itching to join the folks who regularly show up on CNBC and at the Lexus dealerships in Silicon Valley but you also know your odds of big-time success are about as long as Bill Gates' position in MSFT. What do you do? John Nesheim, an adjunct professor at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management, who has personally structured over $300 million in new-venture deals, lays out the step-by-step process in High Tech Start Up. Incorporating some two dozen case studies spanning the technology spectrum, he presents information specific to this industry that will help you get from concept to IPO. It begins with a 14-phase schedule itemising time requirements, necessary assistance, typical participants, major costs, main risks and desired results for each step. It then details all the critical stages (i.e., forming the company, preparing the business plan, assembling the team, dealing with venture capitalists and other funding sources). Nesheim focuses on practical strategies that should certainly improve your chances, but don't start prepping for that on-air interview just yet: Only six out of 1 million high-tech ideas, he notes, ever become successful companies that go public. --Howard Rothman, Amazon.com

Product Description

Using the business acumen that has made him a guru among Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, the author provides a step-by-step guide to starting up a high tech company. Case studies are used to illustrate how readers can modify strategies to suit themselves.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, informative book, 16 May 2000

By A Customer

The best book I have read about high tech start-ups. If you are thinking of doing a start-up read this book first - as well as giving a lot of information about doing a startup it goes into the downsides and risks of such a venture.

It is well written, concise and packed full of real information rather than theoretical examples. More than anything it will help you negotiate a fair deal with the venture capitalists. It also goes into a good amount of detail on writing your business plan and a strategy for getting funded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for all budding entrepreneurs, 21 Jan 2001

By A Customer

Even if you only read the 31 key points on the first four pages you will be better informed and more likely to succeed with creating a start up. Communicates the reality rather than the myths of creating high tech start ups and raising venture capital.

We provide a copy to everyone entering our incubator - it saves much time and pain later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost all you need to know about high tech start-ups, 3 Mar 2005

By	Papanastassiou Alexandre "alex_papa" (Bruxelles, Belgique) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: High Tech Start Up Revised and Updated: The Complete Handbook for Creating Successful New High Tech Companies (Unbound)

John Nesheim's High Tech Start Up is a great book for anyone interested in setting-up and/or growing a company whose business involves advanced technology. Now, let's be clear: in my opinion, there is no such thing as a low-tech company. There are mature businesses that may not feel the competitive heat that would motivate them or justify innovation, but that does not mean they are low-tech businesses. In that sense John Nesheim's book is very interesting, even though it mainly provides the US perspective. In any event, for anyone interested in innovating with a new or with an existing business this book is a must read; it will not provide all the answers but will make the picture a hell of a lot clearer.
