Описание: A powerful contrarian argument that upends our current understanding of the state of American entrepreneurship
It's become an article of faith that American entrepreneurship is in trouble. The problems are many: lack of capital, too few entrepreneurial immigrants, excessive regulation, an aging population, slowing population growth, and rising student debt. But while experts across the country debate the causes and propose solutions, Scott Shane explains that the data just doesn't fit. Dismantling each of the most widely accepted theories in turn, he persuasively demonstrates that--while an evolving market is changing the nature of most startups--entrepreneurship is actually alive and well.
Shane reveals how the number of incorporated startups is rising, fewer startups are failing, and the number of businesses without employees is increasing. The overall picture is positive. Exhaustively researched and compellingly told, this book will be read and discussed for years to come.

The real-world secrets to startup success
Unicorn Tears is the smart entrepreneur's guide to startups. A full 92% of startups fail in the first three years -- but failure is not inevitable. Most of these companies self-sabotage, unconsciously eliminating any chance at success before they even get started. It's not the economy, it's not politics, it's not external factors; failure comes from within. This book shows you how to be one of the unicorns -- one of the 8% who make it. Be prepared to un-learn everything you thought you knew about startups, as author Jamie Pride busts the harmful myths that lead so many companies to failure. Drawing upon his history as a venture capitalist, he reveals what investors want to see and hear, and what final factor puts your venture firmly into the "yes" column.
Pride understands what matters in startups, and what gets in the way; his Hollywood Method for start-up success gives you a proven formula based on the tried-and-true framework Hollywood uses to make movies that succeed around the globe. Case studies illustrate what success looks like on the ground, and brings a global perspective to successful entrepreneurship and the strategies that help your business grow.
Learn the truth behind the eight myths of startups
Adopt a proven formula for success based on Hollywood blockbusters
Craft a winning pitch to bring investors -- and capital -- over to your side
Gain real-world perspective on startups and future trends
Everyone wants their business to succeed, but wanting means nothing without a solid plan and the means to implement it. Unicorn Tears helps you set yourself up for success, and gives you the tools to forge your path to the top.

Описание: The author shows that advisory boards in technology-based startups have seven different roles and functions: control, advice, networking, signalling, capital provision, co-management, coordination. It is shown that venture capital investors try to influence the importance of these roles in favour of control, coordination and co-management. Contrary to this, the satisfaction of founders as well as advisory board members increases with a higher importance of advice, networking and signalling. This analysis provides both qualitative and quantitative empirical data on the usage of those boards in practice.
