Description

Building a startup isn't about luck — it's about surviving the chaos long enough to make luck irrelevant.

The Ultimate Startup Survival Guide by Steve Bell cuts through the noise and gets real about what it actually takes to start, scale, and survive in today's startup jungle. No fluff. No theory. Just the battle-tested tactics, traps, and truths from someone who's lived it.

You'll learn:

Why most startups fail (and how to quietly sidestep every one of those landmines). How to think like an investor without becoming one. When to scale, when to stall, and when to run like hell. The art of creating "funding optionality" — so you don't dance to someone else's tune. How to plan exits before you even start — and why that's not cynical, it's smart.

Whether you're bootstrapped, VC-backed, or still sketching ideas on a napkin, this book gives you the playbook to stay alive long enough to win.

Steve Bell — Unicorn builder, entrepreneur, investor, and creator of many startup courses — distills decades of startup scars, strategy, and street-smarts into a brutally honest field manual for founders, leaders and startup employees who prefer reality over motivational posters.

Because startups don't die from competition. They die from stupidity.
And this helps you avoid that.
