Zero to IPO isn't just a guide for entrepreneurs — it's a must-read manual for all executives and operators in high-growth businesses.

Excelente libro, lo recomiendo, de buena calidad

実際に米国で起業し、IPOに到達した経営者による経験を踏まえたアドバイス集です。内容はごく当たり前といえば当たり前（たとえば、起業のパートナーには全幅の信頼がおけなければならない）ですが、今日のシリコンバレーで起業するとはどういうことか、コンパクトにまとまった1冊です。

Freddy is not only an incredible entrepreneur and operator, he's an even more impressive human being. I love how he describes that a big part of his motivation for this book is unlocking the insights that have helped him go from start-up to $40B tech icon for anyone, not just a select few silicon valley elite. Many extremely successful entrepreneurs will ride off into the sunset. Freddy, however, is clearly committed to giving back and helping the next generation of entrepreneurs.The book itself is incredibly well written, thought-provoking, and downright practical. I love how it touches on everything that actually matters to an entrepreneur spanning prioritization, hiring, fundraising, sales, building team culture, managing yourself and everything in between. I wish I had Zero to IPO at my side during my last two start-ups. There's no doubt in my mind this will be my go-to entrepreneurial bible for my next one. Thank you Freddy for sharing this with the world, Zero to IPO is a masterpiece!

It's that fun. Yes, fun. The author has unique way (in business writing, especially) of weaving an entertaining tale, while keeping the threads tight as the story unfolds.There are conveniently packaged chapters that punctuate the path from zero (which is defined as a great idea + a willing founder) to IPO. It's a process the author knows exceedingly well, and not only are they willing to share all the goods, but the recurring themes make everything feel actually doable.Having read my share of "do this" business dogma, Zero to IPO reads more like a riveting, behind-the-scenes memoir. In it, you get the operating instructions for Wall Street, which is nice, and the main character remains refreshingly relatable.The author also acknowledges that their experience isn't going to be everyone's experience for reasons of privilege and provides resources and ways to address this. BONUS: All book proceeds go to a related non-profit. Huge.In short: So many reasons to buy this book for every entrepreneur you know.
