Finished reading The Art of Start and it’s really good. I’m lending it to my partner in crime, since it’s full of valuable pragmatic instructions.

Although some advices apply to large venture capital funding, most are universal to any startup. I specially liked the pitching tips (the 10/20/30 rule, take notes…) and the The Art of Schmoozing:

  • Get out
  • Ask good questions, then shut up
  • Follow up
  • Read voraciously
  • Give favors

If you’ve seen Guy’s presentation and liked it, you will love the book.
