Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Its a "Good Book" but not the "Bible"
This is a book with great strengths and great weaknesses. If you are a seasoned entrepreneur, this is a useful resource at a fair price. If you are just thinking about starting your first company, be wary of this book; if you use it to chart your course, it could drive you onto a reef. In the hands of the naive, it will cause a lot of damage.
Strengths:
- Comprehensive - it covers a very wide range of topics
- Honest - the book tries to be forthcoming and avoid ... Read More
Rating: - A "real-world" startup book, for a change. Super!
As someone who worked in, worked with, and funded start-ups and now teaches the subject I've found two common categories of start-up books: those by academics that have been written in a vacuum and thus seem clinical and out of touch with reality, and those written by successful entrepreneurs who use the pages to relive their glory days.

Rating: - Previous reviewers are spot on
This was purchased not to start a company (yet), but to increase my effectiveness in business dealings with startups. As director of business development for a pharmaceutical contract research organization (CRO), I work with VC, PE and Angel funded companies routinely to assure their product development goals are met.

Rating: - A Solid Reference Book for Entrepreneurs

As an entrepreneur who has started several companies over the years (and as an author of a book on the subject of entrepreneurship myself), I can say that I wish that I had a copy of this book early in my entrepreneurial career. If you studied this book and came to understand its content, you would be well prepared for the start-up process.
In reality, most readers will not plow ... Read More
Rating: - A solid book for those seeking angel or VC financing
There are over twelve thousand books available on the subject of entrepreneurship, ranging from the truly execrable to the really good. But Michael Stathis' The Startup Company Bible is one that I can recommend to every entrepreneur and every early stage investor.
As an active angel investor in the US, I have read dozens of books aimed at entrepreneurs. Usually I end up cringing at the misperceptions, bad advice and third-hand information they contain. The great thing about Stathis' work ... Read More
