Acceleration - Startup law book for entrepreneurs

Hello Product Hunt! I wrote Acceleration with the vision of giving first-time and second-time entrepreneurs a true ‘heads up’ of the legal issues they will encounter when launching a startup. Entrepreneurs should not have to learn these lessons the hard way. Acceleration is compilation of the most common questions I have received from clients, anecdotes, strategies, and pattern-recognition insights from the past 13+ years being a venture lawyer. Thus, there is content in the book for veteran entrepreneurs as well. The full table of contents is in the gallery. ***For the rest of this week, the ebook version will be $0.99! Happy to answer any questions you may have!

Audio book coming for the a.d.d.-ers soon?

I have worked with Ryan for years and he’s the first person I go to for startup or acquisition advice.

This book is a guide to all the major legal issues that face a startup founder. Helps both investors and startup founders figure out what is important to them and how to get it.

Pros:

This is the essential field manual to legal issues facing startup founders

Cons:

Ryan needs to write a book with case studies with real life examples and names disguised. Maybe book 2?

Thanks Ryan!

I started reading it. So far it's really good!

I'm about a few chapters in and there is so much good stuff packed into this book! Definitely a must-read for any founder.

MUST READ!

Pros:

Everything you need to know as a first-time founder when it comes to startup legal issues PLUS tons of knowledge for the seasoned vet.

Cons:

Not enough rap lyrics.

Bonus points for using inclusive language!

Pros:

This book is now my go-to recommendation for entrepreneurs. Can't imagine a more helpful read regardless of experience or industry focus.

Cons:

None.

Ryan has his startup legal practice into into book form. Grab the book, it's a teeny-tiny investment into your company. If you like what you read, get in touch with Ryan.

Pros:

Practical, straight-forward and to the point.

Cons:

No cons, scams or ruses. :P

great!

Founder and long-time client here. Ryan (@startuplawyer) has been instrumental to the success of our startup and I can wholeheartedly recommend his advice and book!

Any plans for the audible version?

Bought!

Love it, bought it on amazon. Will recommend it to all the founders we train. It'd be awesome for you to come to speak to our batch of really early stage companies. Happy to promote the book to all of my batches (juan at draperuniversity dot com) @startuplawyer

It's very good. Thank you ryan !!

It's nice!!

Very useful read for getting started entrepreneurs

Is this book only covering the laws of USA, or would it also be helpful for entrepreneurs in EU?

Are you able to list the hard-cover version on Amazon.ca? I would like a hard-cover copy but re-sellers are price gouging.
