Description
-Eric Ries, author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup "I've had the opportunity to serve on a range of boards for companies at various stages in their lifecycle-so I know firsthand that building an effective board, and leveraging it wisely, is both a challenge and an opportunity. This new Brad Feld book will help you get it right."
-Steve Case, Chairman and CEO, Revolution; cofounder, AOL "I've been fortunate enough to sit on a few startup boards with Brad. His 'less is more' approach to board meetings keeps the process efficient and focused on strategy. If you have any role on a board of directors, stop messing with PowerPoint and read this book right now. I guarantee that you'll get far more satisfaction from your future interactions."
-David Cohen, CEO, Techstars "Having sat on multiple boards with Brad and his partners at Foundry Group as well as currently being the CEO of GetSatisfaction, I greatly appreciate the power of an effective board for a fast-growing startup. This book shows you the way."
-Wendy Lea, CEO, GetSatisfaction "An excellent board can dramatically help an entrepreneur while a lousy board can sink a company. This book can help you learn how to be on the right side of that equation."
-Craig Dauchy, Partner and Head of Venture Capital Group, Cooley LLP "Having been involved early on the Zynga board with Brad, we both experienced a radically new board approach while scaling up a company at an unprecedented pace. While there is a time and place for traditional board governance, an active, involved, and engaged board is required for any startup. Learn how to do it right in this book."
-J. Sanford (Sandy) Miller, General Partner, Institutional Venture Partners "Brad is a powerful force in the universe and his board-level membership was a booster rocket that helped us grow so fast. This book will help make CEOs more effective at dealing with the personalities that can be on a board, and I would consider it required reading for any board member so they can amplify their impact."
-Bre Pettis, CEO, MakerBot "While board meetings should be helpful to entrepreneurs, many find them to be worthless and tedious. This book creates a framework for developing a high-functioning board that is a real asset to a company's success."
-Jason Mendelson, Managing Director, Foundry Group
