QUICK INTRODUCTION
Launching a startup is a thrilling but chaotic journey. Many founders believe that following a traditional business plan guarantees success, but Steve Blank and Bob Dorf argue that startups aren’t smaller versions of large companies—they must search for a sustainable business model rather than just executing a fixed plan.
"The Startup Owner’s Manual" provides a structured framework to navigate this uncertainty, equipping entrepreneurs with customer discovery, validation, and scaling techniques. This book is a must-read for startup founders, investors, and innovation-driven teams aiming to build businesses that succeed beyond the launch phase.
