This book looks like a great resource as it shares the author's first-hand experience of raising $, as well as insights from other great tech founders. The Kindle version is also FREE on Amazon today!
@tymrtn It takes one to know one. ;-) I figure let's get this into the hands of as many people as possible who it can help. And if Amazon happens to notice all of the momentum and promotes it once the free promotion is over, then so be it! :-)
I hope you enjoy it!

@tymrtn@belsito Agreed. so many make the rookie mistake of charging $1M at launch only to end up begging people to download after momentum leaves.
@darrenux@daniellenewnham Darren, so sorry there are issues you're running into. It sounds like Danielle was able to download it in the UK store. Maybe try a bit later? If it still doesn't work, let me know. I'll do whatever I can to help. (mikebelsito at gmail dotcom)
@belsito Yup- sorted! Thanks Mike. The mobile version of the Amazon store didn't make it easy for me to link to the UK store. Or maybe I'm just blind. Anyway, great! Thanks!
I have been reading Mike Belsito's blog for several months now and he really provides some great advice. I have been looking forward to the books release.
@myshlaev I just saw that I never commented here. Very cool! I actually was involved with a different Coursera course that wasn't specifically about raising money, but definitely was all about the "Outside of Silicon Valley" part: https://www.coursera.org/learn/e...
I'm so excited for this book to reach the world because I know the author has put an enormous amount of care and value into it. In full disclosure, I know Mike and spoke with him several times about this book during its development. It was self-evident to me then that this book would be a great asset and advantage to startup folks. There's no reason not to get this book, especially today since it's free on Amazon.com.
@_mlevi It does not *yet* -- being the entrepreneur I am, I thought I'd get this out there and into the world even though I wasn't ready for print yet. I will, however, be releasing a print edition in the next couple of weeks!
Hey everyone -- thanks for all of the awesome feedback about the book during launch week! The free promotion I set up on Amazon ended, but I made the price as low as Amazon will allow me ($.99) and will have it set there for at least a few days before it goes up to the full price. Even then, I decided to set the price at $4.99 rather than the originally planned $9.99.
If anybody has questions about the topic itself, or the process of writing and launching the book, let me know! Happy to answer questions on here -- and have been known to have a Meerkat session (or ten) as well. ;-)
