What books can you suggest about scaling startup?

Traction by Gabriel Weinberg felt very actionable. You can just take the table of contents and see it as a check-list. The Exponential Organisation felt super interesting, too. But at the end of the day it's more about how much you test and how fast you implement. The more I learn, the more books and ideas feel overrated. Implementation is everything.

Check out "Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It...and Why the Rest Don't" by Verne Harnish. The book provides actionable advice and proven strategies for growing a business, with a focus on creating a solid foundation for success.

The Lean Startup

When it comes to sales "Predictable revenue" is a must 😄

"Zero to One" is my go-to. "The Lean Startup" and "The Hard Things About Hard Things" are also great.

for scaling - Blitzscaling by Reid Hoffman for growth - Hacking Growth by Sean Ellis for fundamentals - Zero to One by Peter Thiel

There are many great books on scaling startups, here are some of my top recommendations: "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries - This book provides a framework for startups to rapidly iterate and test their business ideas, and scale them up quickly. "Scaling Up" by Verne Harnish - This book provides a roadmap for scaling up businesses, including strategies for building a strong team, creating a winning culture, and implementing effective processes.

Overall, these books provide valuable insights and frameworks for scaling up a startup, and are highly recommended for anyone looking to take their business to the next level.

Generally when you're looking for such books you don't want anything too high-profile; cause it's overplayed and everyone's doing what they're proposing. Conversely, you don't want anything too "underground" because they're likely testing various strategies that may or may not work. If you're looking for something smack-dab in the middle of the spectrum, I think I've got something. As such, I'd highly recommend getting a hold of Elad Gil's book: High Growth Handbook: Scaling Startups from 10 to 10,000 People https://www.amazon.com/High-Grow... He was one of Google's earliest employees who scaled Adsense to thousands of employees and then sold his startup to Twitter. This dude generally knows what he's doing and I take after much of his approach. Additionally, he regularly contributes his insight to his blog which you can find here: https://blog.eladgil.com/ Additionally, no matter what startup you're running in what industry, most teleology and ontology is underpinned by fundamental first mover causes; the effect determining the success or failure of your company. Learning to learn is one of the best things you can do for yourself, and this resource might help you as well: https://www.nims.go.jp/nanophys6...
