Reignition

Dave Hersh's new book, Reignition Transforming Stuck Startups into Breakout Winners gives readers a valuable outline on how to transform a stuck startup into a lean, disciplined, focused organization that thoughtfully experiments with growth before making investments and that has the best chance of succeeding on a large scale. Drawing on stories of successes and failures, Hersh explains how companies that recover from near-death experiences can have profoundly successful second acts. This book will appeal to new or mature businesses, but the following will have special interest:1. Startups and growth companies from $1M to $100M in revenue that have gotten stuck and must transform to survive and grow.2. Founders and leaders of bootstrapped, healthy, or earlier-stage startups who want to avoid common mistakes around premature scaling.3. Acquirers (and hired leaders) of stuck companies.4. Investors and stakeholders who support these companies and leaders.Hersh is a needed voice in a startup ecosystem intent on raising too much money, growing too quickly, and failing at a high rate. Instead, Hersh advises readers on how to streamline a business down to its core, adopt an appropriate leadership style, get profitable, and patiently seek the right growth path. This is the first book in a brand that stands for depth (working to understand the human truths behind our decisions), vulnerability, and accessibility, mixed with real-world experience, practical tools, and results from an experienced entrepreneur who cares about his readers.
