THE BOOK EVERY FOUNDER WISHES THEY'D READ FIRST The journey to startup success is beset with dangers, traps, and uncertainty. New founders and entrepreneurs risk making the same fatal errors as those who have gone before. But it doesn't have to be that way. Speak Startup is the only book that arms you with the language of Silicon Valley, explains the building blocks of the industry, and equips you with the insider mindset that makes the difference between failure and success.
