'With thousands and thousands of new tech startups launching every year, it's shocking how little practical guidance for entrepreneurs has been published. Shirish's new book provides rarely seen real world advice for founders overwhelmed by the real world. Every tech entrepreneur should take a few hours off from the grind, in the wee hours of the morning or over a weekend, to benefit from the wisdom of a compatriot who has been there several times before.' -- Craig Sherman, Partner, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and amp; Rosati--Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati
'From Startup to Exit is a fantastic resource for any startup founder, even more so if you are a first time founder and entrepreneur. Building a successful startup takes investments at all stages -- in your leadership capabilities, your product strategy, your go-to-market strategy, how you provide value to customer, and how you build your team. Shirish's anecdotes and lessons in this book are highly relevant and apt to help any entrepreneur build and scale a successful technology business.' -- S.
