The Startup Checklist

The Startup Checklist Onlinegust.com/checklist

IF YOU HAVE read all the way through this book, you will no doubt have come to the conclusion that starting up a high-growth company the right way (1) is non trivial, (2) is not cheap, and (3) requires that you find a lot of different players and get them all working together. And even then, keeping an ongoing tight handle on all of the various pieces, from your Business Model Canvas and lean plan, to your cap table and option plan, to your employees and legal agreements, to your finance and accounting issues, is enough to make anyone want to hide under the covers.

Coinciding with the publication of this book is the launch by Gust of a companion web site: a powerful new platform that pulls together everything that you have been reading about and provides a single online tool to manage your startup from the Big Idea to the Big Exit.

At gust.com/checklist you will find a free, cloud-based version of the checklist to help you keep track of your progress, along with updates to the book, downloadable copies of supplementary materials, and links to a wide variety of tools to help you at every step of the startup progress.

Good luck with your scalable, high-growth business!
