Red Rocket Ventures started writing its “101 Startup Lessons–An Entrepreneur’s Handbook” back in March 2011. Over two years later, it has evolved into a comprehensive, one-stop read for entrepreneurs who want actionable learnings about a wide range of startup and digital-related topics. The book is a startup executive’s strategic “playbook”, with “how-to” lessons about business in general, sales, marketing, technology, operations, human resources, finance, fund raising and more, including many case studies therein. We have demystified and synthesized the information an entrepreneur needs to strategize, fund, develop, launch and market their businesses.
Targeted Age Group:
21-55 (Business Readers)

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Write about what you love, and that passion will transfer onto your readers.
