While I was browsing through my collection of downloaded e-books earlier today, I came across one titled “How to Build A Bulletproof Startup” which I found on Business 2.0 magazine somewhere last year.
What’s really interesting about this e-book is the use of illustrative pictures with easily understandable English to explain the processes of how Startups are found and built. It throws you the big picture straight into your face without digressing so much. The e-book lists down 16-steps guide in chronological order of how you can create your own startup from as early as establishing your company to developing your idea to funding strategies to launching your app to marketing your product.
While I noticed that most of the financial requirements stated in the e-book seems to be exagerrated A LOT (I mean hey… $500K needed to build a prototype and $1 million to build the beta app?? Come on….), but they did raised some major important points that needs to be considered for establishing a professional startup such as staffing considerations and how your end-product might evolve and change from your initial idea.
So go ahead, download the e-book and read it. Just remember to turn a blind eye for any financial figures found in it, because you want to create a bulletproof startup, not shooting a bullet through your startup.

Thanks for another great resource
Financial requirements can differ depending on your skills as an entrepreneur. Maybe you just can’t code or you don’t have the knowledge to find people who can. Than services can get very expensive. Anyway I agree with you - $500k or $1 mio is a LOT of money.
Keep on the good work!

“$500K needed to build a prototype and $1 million to build the beta app”
