Many dream of high growth. Few achieve it. The reality is that it's a harder cycle to complete than entrepreneurs and founders expect. The risks are numerous and intense. The right investors will give you the space and the fuel to perfect your idea and connect with your market. However, they are going to ask you a series of searching questions about how you are actually going to perform. Kevin R Smith knows all about the pressures that entrepreneurs and founders face. He has helped hundreds of them to plan, fund and scale their ventures. Often when they're short of time or not sure which way to turn. Based on all these experiences, his book highlights the decisions and the capabilities that make the difference between those who accelerate and those who plateau. Written as a realistic guide to meeting the expectations of investors, he gives you a step-by-step guide to what you have to put in place to become fundable and put yourself on the path to scaling up.
