Ask HN: Best books for developing a business strategy specifically for startups?
I've read my more than fair share of Business books, including Blue Ocean Strategy, and while experienced and business savvy, I don't feel like I have a good grasp on the process of developing a sound business strategy for a startup.
Care to share your choice of books on the matter? Or any other resource for that matter?
- mindcrime 5y agoHave you read The Four Steps to the Epiphany? Particularly the part near the end that gets into "New Lanchester Strategy" and how that applies to startups?
- bfi 5y agoHooked by Nir Eyal is pretty good as a basis and 7 powers by Helmer breaks it down in a more technical sense. Found those books pretty insightful but each business will probably have unique problems in their own way thus books can only help to a point.
- jamisonbryant 5y agoCheck out Traction by Gino Wickman. Or Google "EOS".

Do you know the basics of market/product/channel risks? 2. What's your background and why are you interested in learning about business strategies
