Startups are not yet even baby businesses. A startup is a “loosely organized entity in search of a business model” (as per Steve Blank) with “scant resources” (as per Chuck Eesley). <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many startups are stillborn. <\/div>\n
Many do not start a ‘baby business’ like Stanford alum student-athlete, Lisa Falzone.<\/div>\n
Startups die a lot and I’m not down with that. <\/div>\n

As per Tom Kosnik, Engr 145 is a class that’s meant to reduce infant company death. Well, I took Engineering 145 4x. It’s because I’m slow. But I’m focused. <\/div>\n

I gathered up all 88 IQ points and pushed them to the middle of the table. As an athlete, it is not the 6′ 5″, 222 lb 5-tool athlete that wins at baseball all the time. What is the result of 88 IQ points properly levered, applied, and executed??! <\/div>\n

Startup death’s solved by a Geoffrey Moore book I had to e-x-t-r-a-p-o-l-a-t-e. Darn that Geoffrey Moore for not having Crown Books-Bantam-Penguin hit P-U-B-L-I-S-H for the book that both you and I need:<\/div>\n
