Book Description
This book is the "Hello, World" tutorial for building products, technologies, and teams in a startup environment. It's based on the experiences of the author, Yevgeniy (Jim) Brikman, as well as interviews with programmers from some of the most successful startups of the last decade, including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub, Stripe, Instagram, AdMob, Pinterest, and many others. Hello, Startup is a practical, how-to guide that consists of three parts: Products, Technologies, and Teams. Although at its core, this is a book for programmers, by programmers, only Part II (Technologies) is significantly technical, while the rest should be accessible to technical and non-technical audiences alike. If you’re at all interested in startups—whether you’re a programmer at the beginning of your career, a seasoned developer bored with large company politics, or a manager looking to motivate your engineers—this book is for you.

Book Description
"Product management isn't about you and it isn't about your product. It's about solving problems for your customers, creating a solution, and taking it to market." When I started in product management, I had a lot of questions, like "What is product management?" It's a common question still, but most people don't have a good answer. After all these years, the same questions keep coming up. I see them on forums, I hear them when I talk to new and experienced product managers, and I still do not see them being answered well or usefully. So I wrote this book, with the answers to the questions I always had. You'll learn: The real reason people choose to buy a product - it's not about how "good" the product is! How to get the very best from your developers. The 5-word phrase that can accelerate sales and marketing. The best ways to talk to executives and customers about what you're building. Among other critical information, you'll find a powerful framework for thinking about product management - and even for talking to your Mom about what you do. The framework provides an infrastructure for most of The Secret Product Manager Handbook. I provide a concrete and explicit explanation of why product management is so important for businesses, including a calculation of the true business value of product management. And the book is full of specific techniques and practices for transforming your product management career. What People Are Saying "Nuggets of product management wisdom and ideas you'll want to hang on your monitor. The book is like having a conversation with a mentor." (Ken Hanson, Growth Product Manager) The summary of product management - identify market problems, guide the creation of solutions, and take the solutions to market - is powerful. As a former engineer, it's especially important to be reminded of the third point" (Frank Licea, Product Manager) "The intro is one of the clearest and smartest explanations of the value a product manager should bring to the table I've ever read." (Luca Candela, VP of Product Management)

Book Description
Many startups and entrepreneurs fail because they do not validate their startup business idea. I run some of the largest startup communities on LinkedIn. One of the largest communities that I moderate and engage on LinkedIn has around 300,000 global members including startups, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, mentors and global experts. With my own experience of working with many startups, entrepreneurs, corporates and my regular interactions with successful business ventures I have understood the importance of validating your startup business idea before launching your product or services in the market.In this book not only have I collected my thoughts and experiences for validating a business idea but I have reached out to many experts globally to understand how to validate a business idea before going all out and launching your own business. Who Is This Book For ? It is extremely important that you validate your startup business idea in the market if you are a wannabe entrepreneur, a student, homemaker, professional, expert or anyone who is trying to launch a startup business This is extremely important for you to understand this right from the ideation stage itself. Sometimes in the enlightenment of the business idea or in the haste of getting things done faster with shortcuts (Howsoever the idea might be great), we end up doing the following: 1. We forget the simple basics 2. We tend to overlook similar experiences 3. We do not take stable advises 4. We rush into getting things done faster 5. We often get misguided 6. We overlook readily available data 7. We sometimes ONLY look at money and not the business process 8. We don't validate things before going all out Why This Book? Time and again I have seen my friends, colleagues, students, awesome entrepreneurs, startups (including myself) getting into a new business without validating their startup business idea. This often has led to extremely disastrous and sometimes fatal outcomes. Lot of things get on stake when you risk getting into a new business e.g. you risk your time, money, resources, relationships, career etcNever hurry into things. Always validate things from a rational and practical perspective. This will give you depth, more understanding and a far clear picture of how, when,where and what to do while going ahead into a new ventureThis book is a step to overcome all those hassles and validate your awesome business idea. A huge thanks to all these awesome global experts,entrepreneurs who have also contributed their ideas with me on the topic: Tina Zurbi, Sandeep Balaji, Neeraj Saini, Praval Kant, Dr Aniruddha Malpani, Joseph Roos, Avigail Berg, Diana Palchik, Dr Rajeev Tewari, Patrick Osman, Tishana Simon, Dr Pranab Sen, Nitin Jain, Ed Zimmer, Andrea Sica, Zile Soilihi, Jeffrey Hilton, Guy Cleveland, Richard Coleness, Tabitha Jean Taylor, Andrew MacWhirter, Matt Kurleto, Daniel Leping I would also love to hear from you once you have read this book on your experiences and how you have dealt with validating your own startup business idea.
