Book Reviews from Industry Experts
NISI Reviews

"I have been an advisor/consultant to early stage startups for years-as well as an active angel investor. I am 70 pages into the book and as I read Nail It Then Scale It, I have have found almost every page full of critical and impactful commentary and direction. Possibly the best scripted directional work I have seen in helping early stage startups “see the light” as to what to do/not to do."

"As a first time entrepreneur, I found this startup book’s advice incredibly helpful. We nailed a specific set of product features, prioritized them properly and priced it appropriately based on the customer interview process. Having many friends and colleagues in tech startups and been a technical leader at many others, it felt like we cut a year off of the typical fits and starts that most tech companies undergo zigzagging to the right product and market positioning. No tech company entrepreneur should get started without reading this book."

Adam Blum, CEO, Rhomobile

" The steps outlined in the startup book cut time (50%+) and cost (80%+) out of our product development cycle. Nail It Then Scale It doesn’t dance around theory, it dives right into the nuts and bolts of identifying need, and the step-by-step process of building a great product that will sell the moment it ships. Good entrepreneurs have solid product intuition – great entrepreneurs will follow Nail It Then Scale It and find out how to nail it the first time around. Great read – strongly recommended."

Jared Allgood, CEO, Juxta Labs
