Book Review: Do More Faster

Wow.

I expected this book to be good. I expected Brad Feld and David Cohen to pack a ton of insights into a book. What I didn’t expect is that those insights would come in the form of stories from entrepreneurs. It makes total sense considering that Tech Stars is about mentors, not professors.

Do More Faster is organized into topic (they call them themes) like Idea and Vision, Execution, Fundraising, Legal, etc.  Each theme has around 15 stories / anecdotes / lessons. Most of the lessons seem to be from founders of TechStars companies (or from Brad Feld or David Cohen, the founders of TechStars itself).  I devoured the sections on Execution and Fundraising. I am sure there will be times when I go back and review the lessons on Legal or People. It would probably do me good to read the section on Work Life Balance at least once a month :-/

I am sure part of my love for this book has to do with where I am right now with Bizen. Though it might be the kind of book that has something for you no matter where you are in the process (at least for tech entrepreneurs).

The bottom line is, if you are a tech entrepreneur read this book. You might want to do it fast so you don’t have to hear me drone on about it the next time I see you.
