Guy Kawasaki - The Art of the Start
Torsten has given me The Art of the Start written by Guy Kawasaki CEO of VC company garage.
It is fascinating to read and provides a lot of useful tips and I am

it is VC companies who are responsible
that some of these lies are told. Entrepreneurs pitching their company
are only trying to give information they were educated to give simply
because they are on the checklist of each VC. And my experience is that

a big advertising agency has a claim that goes "truth well told". I have seen a lot of lies well told and a lot of very experienced people believing them. Every Top Ten lie can be very impressive if presented by a talented liar.
Anyway, it is a great book and worth reading.a big advertising agency has a claim that goes "truth well told". I have seen a lot of lies well told and a lot of very experienced people believing them. Every Top Ten lie can be very impressive if presented by a talented liar.
