Startups are born to fail. Around three quarters of venture capital
backed new companies never return cash to investors. Upscale is
about the other 25%. `I feel like I woke up one morning to find I
have a board, investors and 80 people to manage - and I don't have
a clue how to do it.' Asi Sharabi, co-founder, Wonderbly At a time
when more people than ever are starting companies in Britain - over
2,000 new businesses are launched every day - Upscale focuses on
the moment founders floor the accelerator and their company goes
from a bunch of friends in a co-working space to hundreds of
employees often scattered around the world. Speaking to some of the
UK's leading technology entrepreneurs and investors - including
Brent Hoberman (lastminute.com, Founders Factory), Wendy Tan White
(BGF, Moonfruit), Neil Rimer (Index Ventures), Suranga
Chandratillake (Balderton Capital), Saul Klein (LocalGlobe), and
Sarah Wood (Unruly) - who between them have built or backed
companies worth billions, journalist James Silver covers the most
pressing, practical and often painful issues founders face: from
coping with stress to getting shot of a bad hire, to handling a
tricky board member and opening a first overseas office. By
founders for founders, and those toying with starting a business,
Upscale (based on the Tech Nation programme of the same name)
avoids the theorizing and platitudes of typical business books, in
favour of hard-headed advice from those who've succeeded - and the
mistakes to look out for along the way.
