Overview

"No Startup Left Behind is a breath of fresh air in the coddled, avoid-failure-at-all-cost world of traditional entrepreneurship that aims to wait until passion strikes to even launch, please every customer at any cost, and over promise but underwhelm every market. Pollack simplifies the startup journey for readers, from your messy hunch through ideation, customer journey mapping to uncover unique insights, fundraising, launch, scale and profitability generation. Additionally, he provides a roadmap for tackling the biggest competitor of them all - apathy - and provide time-tested tools backed by entertaining personal anecdotes that will help you, our illustrious founder, break through the endless wall of rejection from corporate buyers trained to pass, unconvinced customers, and investors waiting to poke holes in every line of your elevator pitch. No Startup Left Behind isn't the book you want to read to feel good about your startup, it's the book you need to face to prep for the battles ahead.
