Face it. Odds-wise you have a much better chance of becoming a pro athlete than a successful startup entrepreneur. Internationally successful serial entrepreneur James LaLonde takes you through the key things you need to get right in the early days of your startup before you turn the next 5+ years of your life and your startup into a stress-laden nightmare.

- How to select the right co-founders
- How to build a winning Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
- How to make a bulletproof pitch deck and then successfully use it to get VC funding

Also, a lot of essential information that has never been organized and gathered in one place is all here:
- All the ways you can get funding without giving up precious equity to VCs
- How to split the equity between co-founders to ensure its fair and won't end up being a point of contention that destroys your startup
- How to set the valuation for your startup and how to get investors to accept it
- How to get through all the investor meetings and the inevitable due diligence so you can get the investment you need to grow your business
- and much more!
