The Start-Up Puzzle - Book Tour

 

Nonfiction / Business

 

There’s a lot of over-promises and incorrect advice being given online on starting a successful enterprise. This wrong advice could cost someone their life savings and importantly ruin their life ambition and dream. Therefore, in partnership with the Erasmus University Rotterdam, we decided to pull together a practical how-to guide explaining the process successful start-ups go through: The Start-up Puzzle. It explains the different steps by using real-life examples and has an academic section explaining the theory behind these steps, all augmented by interviews with experts in the field of start- and scale-ups. What makes this guide unique? Real-life examples and expert interviews augmented with a birds-eye overview of the academic theory create a practical guide that is both understandable, practical, and implementable.

My Review

Robert Van Pappelendam has put together an excellent book about creating a new business. He covers pretty well every step necessary to planning and beginning a new business.

This is a great tool. It’s easy to read, laid out well, and very organized. It has great sources listed in the back and a question-and-answer section. It also has a different perspective called the “Academic Perspective” written by Dr. Joris Meijaard.

An excellent read. I don’t care how many “start-up” business books you’ve read, in my opinion, there isn’t one you can’t learn from.
