Customer Reviews

A CPAs review:

As a practicing CPA with a number of technology companies as clients, I find this book an excellent overview of starting and running a technology business. The discussion on accounting was very useful, particularly as Internet firms are struggling to achieve profitability. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to succeed in the competitive environment of the new economy.

Guide for Startups During Difficult Times

Contrary to popular belief, the New Economy is not dead. There are still opportunities for entrepreneurs who apply the lessons learned in this book. I found this book very easy to read and informative. Burns gives you the pitfalls of the New Economy and the steps to take to avoid the pitfalls and start a successful business.

Entrepreneurship.com review

Entrepreneurship.com is full of information about how to create, fund and run a successful dot.com company. It has the obvious information about venture capitalists as well as lesser known but more likely funding sources. Further, the book provides useful and understandable information on how to write a successful business plan, a prerequisite to doing business whether as a traditional brick and mortar company or a newer dot.com. East to read, and full of great information!Dot.coms aren't dead... they just need to read this book to learn how to succeed.

Certainly a Must Have

Finally, someone who really knows what it's like to raise investment capital for these dot coms has written a book that tells it like it is. This book is extremely easy to read and understand. Although I would consider this book a quick read (meaning it was written with the reader in mind), it is chock full of great information. Having spent my past 15 years assisting startup and emerging growth companies with their capital raising efforts as a profession, I've literally read all the books on raising investment capital to keep up-to-date on areas that perhaps I had overlooked. Quite frankly, with very, very few exceptions, the books are boring and offer no real valuable insight. I found Tim's book to be extremely valuable and as a matter of course all of our clients will receive a copy. Although the content of Entrepreneurship.Com is focused on dotcoms I would recommend this book for anyone who is trying to raise investment capital or attract a strategic partner, regardless of the industry. The blueprint that Tim has set forth is solid for any business model or industry and his "E-Plan" approach is excellent for the dotcom business models. Great book and this is one customer who highly recommends it.

Insightful !

What an insightful book on starting a business in the New Economy. I found the book easy to read and full of interesting examples. Most of all, I liked the logical flow of the information presented. If you want to avoid some of the mistakes of the dot com failures, then I would recommend that you buy this book.
