Must Read Book-list for a Startup CEO ("i will not promote")

ICore Structure of a Startup

A startup is built on three essential pillars: Product, Customer, and Support.

●       Product is what you build:  a solution that addresses a real problem.

●       Customer is who you build it for: the people whose problems you're solving.

●       Support includes everything that enables the above two:  funding (Finance), direction and decision-making (Strategy), and the team to build and grow it (HR).

Without a solid product, there’s nothing to offer. Without customers, there’s no one to serve. And without support, there’s no way to bring the product to life or reach the customer effectively.
