Anyone selling/providing such a guide is probably deluded or, in worst case, a crook.
There could certainly be a guide to “creating a startup”. The “successful” part makes it a bit hairy though.
- altern8 8y agoJesus... So all those books about startups are published by crooks? That's pretty radical.
- tnolet 8y agoIf someone offered the advice "just follow these steps and you'll be successful" I would classify that as "snake oil". Or being a crook. Most books in this category that I've read ("zero to one", "Lean Startup", etc. etc.) never literrally say that. They offer advice extrapolated from "this worked for us". Or common patterns that have lead to succes at some stage at some company. Notice, they are not "step-by-step" guides to a successful startup. They are datapoints.
