520    Get the real guidance you need to create and build your 
       first startup company from founders who have been there 
       many times before. The first run printing of The Startup 
       Playbook SOLD OUT! So, we revised, expanded, and improved 
       this second edition, including a new foreword by Brad Feld,
       author of Venture Deals . We still give our personal, how-
       to guide for building your startup from the ground up. 
       You'll find a collection of the major lessons and 
       shortcuts we've learned that will shift the odds in your 
       favor. We're sharing our tips, secrets, and advice in a 
       frank, founder-to-founder discussion with you. We make no 
       bones about our bias. We're on your side, the founder's 
       side. While venture capitalists, investors, and 
       accelerators/incubators can add great value in the startup
       ecosystem, this book isn't about their points of view. 
       We'll tell you where our interests as founders diverge 
       from those on the other side of the table-investors, 
       bankers, advisors, board members, and others-and what to 
       do when that happens. The Startup Playbook is not a recipe,
       it's not a template, it's not a list of tasks to do. It's 
       our insider's guide to starting a company and running it 
       successfully in those critical early months. Between us, 
       we've started over a dozen high-tech software companies 
       and raised over $500 million in investment capital. We've 
       acquired over thirty-five companies, had three of our 
       startups go public, sold six of them, and we made billions
       of dollars for shareholders. We've also invested in over 
       eighty startups, advised and mentored over two hundred 
       companies and actively worked with venture capitalists 
       (VCs), incubators, and accelerators to help launch many 
       other new startups. We've had plenty of failures, too. And
       we've probably learned more from those than from the 
       successes. We share those lessons as well. The Startup 
       Playbook is full of our advice, guidance, do's, and don'ts
       from our years of experience as founders many times. We 
       want to share our hard-earned knowledge with you to make 
       success easier for you to achieve. "This book is 
       extraordinarily fresh and exciting. In an accessible, 
       straight talk fashion, this book is a manual, and an 
       inspiration. The Startup Playbook is smart and avoids the 
       'I am so smart' over-writing endemic to the genre. Read 
       this as it is presented. You'll be doing yourself a 
       tremendous favor." - Amazon Reviewer.
