Quoting:
"'Sprint offers a transformative formula for testing ideas that works whether you're at a startup or a large organization. Within five days, you'll move from idea to prototype to decision, saving you and your team countless hours and countless dollars. A must-read for entrepreneurs of all stripes' Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup.
From three partners at Google Ventures, a unique five-day process for solving tough business problems, proven at more than 100 companies.

Entrepreneurs and leaders face big questions every day: What’s the most important place to focus your effort, and how do you start? What will your idea look like in real life? How many meetings and discussions does it take before you can be sure you have the right solution?

Now there’s a surefire way to answer these important questions: the sprint. Designer Jake Knapp created the five-day process at Google, where sprints were used on everything from Google Search to Google X. He joined Braden Kowitz and John Zeratsky at Google Ventures, and together they have completed more than one hundred sprints with companies in mobile, e-commerce, healthcare, finance, and more.

A practical guide to answering critical business questions, Sprint is a book for teams of any size, from small startups to Fortune 100s, from teachers to nonprofits. It’s for anyone with a big opportunity, problem, or idea who needs to get answers today."

TOOLS: The #StartupStack

Interesting trend and article on the startup stack [software-related tools], i.e. the number of common tools that modern startups use to support them on the most common tasks (like: billing, electronic payments, managing technical work, hiring, etc.).
Modern startups now have these tools for a fraction of the cost it used to cost some years ago...
