It is a detailed guide for startups. it provides financial, operational and strategic guidelines for startups companies.2. It stresses the need to understand deeply the market and customers.It provides handful examples in how to understand customer needs, i.e. interview with customers to evaluate new products and needs. Being a customer driven company is a must to succeed, also a very important point for VC if you dont understand the market you will likely loose the opportunity to get funds.3. Provides the structure of a basic corporation, board of directors, management team etc.4. Jumps into the conclusion that it's easier to sell new products to a current market, suggest strongly to prevent missionary selling in new markets.5. Provides an insight of the details that we need to care of when presenting the new company to new investors, VCs.Very good book if you're in the journey to creating a new company. worth reading. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read This Before Visiting a VC *by D***L on September 3, 2007* This book's special expertise is about designing the financing of your startup!A few years ago when I did a business plan for a technology start-up, the first edition of this book was my source for planning for equity participation for founders, employees, VCs, and the public from founding through IPO. When this second edition came out, I bought it to pass along to a friend in the early stages of a startup.If you are a technical member of a startup, you must read this unless you are already sophisticated in the financing of startups. Don't talk to a VC until you have studied this book.The title is the key. "Engineers" and other technical types will find this a quick and interesting book. And if you are going to play "Monopoly," you must at least know the basic rules first. This is how the game is played in Silicon Valley! If you don't, you will not pass GO and will not collect $200. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engineering Your Start-Up *by E***N on April 5, 2008* This book has a lot more meat than most other start-up books I have come across so far. In particular it has good explanations of the different financing and compensation options -- making the book useful not just for founders who may need to negotiate with venture capitalists, but also for anyone who works at a start-up (and doesn't know what the difference between stock and stock options are, or how to estimate how much what they are getting may eventually be worth). On the other hand the level of detail about how to get things done isn't always down to the cookbook level, and there is frequent advice along the lines of "have your legal department do x". That may be a good idea, but it's not always an option, and at least I'd expect some discussion about how to get good legal advice etc. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8862151-engineering-your-start-up-a-guide-for-the-high-tech](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8862151-engineering-your-start-up-a-guide-for-the-high-tech) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
