Book
I’m currently completing a book called The Startup Guide: Building a Better World Through Entrepreneurship. You can visit the book web site at http://www.startupguide.com to stay up to date as the book progresses and see some early content.
In February 2008 I published a book on entrepreneurship from McGraw-Hill called Zero to One MIllion.
The book is on the topic of what I learned building iContact as a start-up from zero to 80 employees between 2003 and 2007.
