Had a similar idea while reading this article: I was thinking of a website "How to do things", crowdsourced like Wikipedia where anyone could contribute.
So examples could be: How to launch a ecommerce marketplace, or How to launch a Saas, etc. And you could read the manuals, edited by people that learned the hard way. And useful for some that didn't go through incubators. Plus we can extend out of startups/businesses.
I like this idea of your book, but if you get a particular point wrong you can't change it, whereas by doing a crowdsourced website anyone can improve. Just my midnight 2cents :-)
- wpietri 12y agoI think both would be useful. If I do the book, I'll do it through some medium like Leanpub so I can put out drafts to many people and get feedback. And after 18 months or so, I'll put the posts up on a blog so people can comment forever. But the nice thing about a book is that it's done; I don't want to be forever updating the material. The how-to website would be cool. There's a lot of info out there that isn't well captured. If you're excited to jump in on a related effort, there's the Lean Startup Circle wiki: http://leanstartup.pbworks.com/w/page/15765221/FrontPage http://leanstartup.pbworks.com/w/page/15765221/FrontPage Sean Murphy in particular has done a ton of great work on that.
