About this ebook

Learn how to create your own lean startup from 3-time startup CEO and lecturer at The University of Texas at Austin, Harlan T Beverly, PhD. Written in novel form, this book teaches entrepreneurship through the fictional story of Toby, making his first startup, failing, and then ultimately succeeding.

With this book you will:
* Learn through a story, not like a textbook
* Learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship
* Learn how to create a minimum viable product
* Learn how to make a website
* Learn how to price, sell, and market
* Learn how to create a startup

When is a business book something more than a boring, repetitive self-help guide? The answer? When it's actually an incredible work of fiction, with a compelling narrative about a man who makes a startup, fails, and ultimately finds success where he least expected it. This book is similar in style to the parable narrative of The Goal by E. Goldratt. It is fiction, and a complete story, resplendent with excitement, adventure, romance, and even some tragedy. There is a story arc, and it cannot be put down once started.

If you want to learn about startups, but not be bored to tears, read this book. It will show you how to start a company, how to get sales, how to build a website, and how to fail fast (the core of Lean Startup concept). You will learn how to pivot, how to adjust, how to make high tech IoT devices, and how to market. All of this will be learned by reading a story, not by reading a textbook. Take this journey, you will enjoy it!
