Hello Product Hunt! I wrote Acceleration with the vision of giving first-time and second-time entrepreneurs a true ‘heads up’ of the legal issues they will encounter when launching a startup. Entrepreneurs should not have to learn these lessons the hard way. Acceleration is compilation of the most common questions I have received from clients, anecdotes, strategies, and pattern-recognition insights from the past 13+ years being a venture lawyer. Thus, there is content in the book for veteran entrepreneurs as well. The full table of contents is in the gallery. ***For the rest of this week, the ebook version will be $0.99! Happy to answer any questions you may have!

@raydawg88 Hi Ray! Yes I'm working on the logistics for the audio book version and should know more by end of week. FWIW, I did my best to break up the chapters in to separate shortened sections, but totally get the appeal of audiobooks. Even if just for 'time savings/productivity' they are great.

I have worked with Ryan for years and he’s the first person I go to for startup or acquisition advice.

This book is a guide to all the major legal issues that face a startup founder. Helps both investors and startup founders figure out what is important to them and how to get it.

Pros:

This is the essential field manual to legal issues facing startup founders

Cons:

Ryan needs to write a book with case studies with real life examples and names disguised. Maybe book 2?

MUST READ!

Pros:

Everything you need to know as a first-time founder when it comes to startup legal issues PLUS tons of knowledge for the seasoned vet.

Cons:

Not enough rap lyrics.

Bonus points for using inclusive language!

Pros:

This book is now my go-to recommendation for entrepreneurs. Can't imagine a more helpful read regardless of experience or industry focus.

Cons:

None.

Ryan has his startup legal practice into into book form. Grab the book, it's a teeny-tiny investment into your company. If you like what you read, get in touch with Ryan.

Pros:

Practical, straight-forward and to the point.

Cons:

No cons, scams or ruses. :P
