Welcome.
As an IT methodology expert and an entrepreneur, the question that I ask is simple—could an entrepreneur use some science, engineering, and a methodology infusion?
Looking at startup success factors of two failures for every three businesses should be enough to answer that question.
Our book and our methodologies would likely prevent a host of startup failures. I hope our methodologies and this book serve to “methodically engineer” all of you into a successful venture. Anytime you can remove some of the risk associated with the startup process, do it!
These two methodologies and our startup bible go a long way in removing some of the business startup risk factors. May you be the 1 in 3 startups to succeed!
