This will be good, especially since it's addressing the leadership aspect. I'm donating to this one with my custom workshop, as a $10,000.00 perk.

With the incredible success of Eric Ries's previous book, THE LEAN STARTUP, I can only say that I am excited to see how THE LEADER'S GUIDE stacks up. In my opinion, his previous book launched a "mini revolution" in Silicon Valley and everywhere that led to the "F**K IT, SHIP IT" mentality. Although this is phenomenal, to some degree it also hurt the quality of some MVP's being pushed out by founders and entrepreneurs. I do like the attempt he is making at creating a community with this project; "The Leader's Guide Beta Tester Community" as he calls it. Being able to have access to a motivated startup-minded community like this would be really powerful. I'm curious to see how this pans out. All in all, I am very excited to get my hands on this "Kickstarter-Exclusive" product and I can only hope that it lives up to the powerful brand that Ries has created.

I backed it. Easy decision. I like seeing how Eric uses his ideas on his own products. The first time I interviewed him, I asked him how he used the Lean Startup ideas himself. He said that before he did his first conference, he sent out a survey and at the end of it, he asked people to put down a deposit to show how serious they were. If that doesn't seem mind-blowing today it's because Eric's been teaching ideas like that for years. He opened my eyes to a technique that I still use. Last month, I had an idea for an event so I sent out a survey and on the last page I asked people if they'd buy tickets. They did, so I'm doing the event. I backed this so I could continue to watch and learn how Eric does things.

@hunterwalk @_jacksmith @ericries Well that makes things kind of interesting really - because we also saw @StartupLJackon identify that he's a backer (he posted a screenshot of the "edit pledge" screen, meaning he's already backed), and according to the TechCrunch article (http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/11...), @hunterwalk is one of the candidates. What makes this more interesting is that even though Kickstarter removed the link at the end of 2014 that allowed you to view a project's backers, you can still access that page by adding /backers to a project URL: https://www.kickstarter.com/proj... - something that not everybody knows, and something that @StartupLJackson may not have realised when he identified himself as a backer. Which means that we can take the list of @StartupLJackson suspects and find out if they're backers: Dustin Curtis - no Benedict Evans - no Eric Ries - no (for obvious reasons) Ben Horowitz - no Semil - no Balaji Srinivasan - no Chris Dixon - no Hunter Walk - YES! Dave McClure - no The plot thickens...

@ericries I had a similar thoughts to @rrhoover. Surely a more straight forward "tim ferris" style book launch would have been just as effective/more effective.

@rrhoover @benaldred been there, done that: http://www.startuplessonslearned... I wanted to try something new, see what I could learn about launching a book in 2015. The Kickstarter % doesn't bother me, since the campaign isn't really about the money.

If the content is half as good as the Apple-esque marketing strategy for this book's launch it's going to be pretty amazing.
