Summary

With business advice from an expert entrepreneur, learn how to identify and leverage the key factors that will bring sustainability and success to your startup.

Kathleen Kelly Janus, a lecturer at the Stanford University Program on Social Entrepreneurship and the founder of the successful social enterprise Spark, set out to investigate what makes a startup succeed or fail. She surveyed more than 200 high-performing social entrepreneurs and interviewed dozens of founders. Social Startup Success shares her findings for the legions of entrepreneurs working for social good, revealing how the best organizations get over the revenue hump. How do social ventures scale to over $2 million, Janus's clear benchmark for a social enterprise's sustainability?

Janus, tapping into strong connections to the Silicon Valley world where many of these ventures are started or and/or funded, reveals insights from key figures such as DonorsChoose founder Charles Best, charity:water's Scott Harrison, Reshma Saujani of Girls Who Code and many others. Social Startup Success will be social entrepreneurship's essential playbook; the first definitive guide to solving the problem of scale.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Useless for those looking to start up*

*unless you have lots of capital at the ready

This taught me nothing. I wish I could return this. I was waiting and waiting for any kind of advice or support on start up 'success' for my own business, but all that was droned on about endlessly was how inspiring multimillionaires and their business are, without going in to ANY aspects of how these businesses set up, marketed or even really how they successed -just that "lol they did, amazing right?".

waste of a credit
