Praise for Start-Up Guide for the Technopreneur

"The job of the first-time founder isn't easy. You wear a dozen hats at once--often for the first time. Finance is a crucial part of entrepreneurship, but few founders wear the CFO hat with confidence. This book teaches you to think like a CFO--and like an investor. It's like having an experienced, sympathetic start-up CFO whispering in your ear, explaining the financial implications of every decision you make. If you plan to raise funding, then this book belongs on your bookshelf next to The Art of the Start, The Startup Owner's Manual, and Venture Deals."
--Meng Weng Wong, serial entrepreneur, angel investor, and cofounder of JFDI Asia

"Shelters's Start-Up Guide for the Technopreneur is a refreshing and realistic approach to start-up finance for any non-finance entrepreneur. Easy to understand and chock- full of practical, usable advice."
--Cory Brown, VP Product Development, Pronto Marketing

"Attention aspiring entrepreneurs, this one is for you. A must-read, step-by-step guide to master the art of financial planning and fund raising for any start-up that will boost your chances of success exponentially."
--Peter Kopitz, cofounder and Managing Director of Zalora, Rocket Internet Thailand

"David has written an excellent guidebook for tech start-up founders to rely on while building--and learning how to build--their first ventures. His insight into the minds on the financial side of the table is especially useful to any technopreneur. I wish I had a guide like this in my first few start-ups! Still, it holds a great deal of valuable information even for seasoned serial entreprenuers. Few resources, if any, have adequately approached this angle--David has done an excellent job of shedding light on the world of financing for geeks!"
--Efraim Pettersson Ivener, founder and CEO of eKita (www.ekita.co)
