The Next Step

T

Do you want to start a startup but don’t know the first step?  Or the next step? 
Did you just complete a Startup Weekend, #SocEnt Weekend or other entrepreneurial training event?
Have you thought of a must-have product or service, but have no idea how to get from idea to startup?

The Next Step will be your guide, taking you step-by-step through the process from raw idea to operational startup.

Written for anyone with or without business training or experience, The Next Step provides a simple, understandable path through the stages of business planning.  Each stage includes a set of key questions, which when answered, provide you with the materials needed for your formal business plan and pitch.

Authored by Michael “Luni” Libes, founder of Fledge, a serial entrepreneur with 20+ years of startup experience across six startups, plus dozens of others which he has advised.
