The Launch Myth Buster — Second Edition
What launches actually require — and the 10 myths that sink founders
Most launch advice is sold by people who profit whether you succeed or not. The Launch Myth Buster takes apart ten myths across three stages — Ground, Mid-Air, and Altitude — with real named cases (Quibi, Juicero, Webvan) on one side and real success data (Spanx, Mailchimp, the Airbnb and Dropbox MVPs) on the other. You get the Predator Detector (the P.R.E.Y.S. and T.R.U.E. tests for spotting who's selling you a dream), the Four Gates of a real launch decision, and the 30-Day Test: prove your idea with $100 while keeping your job. Free, and honest about its own business model.
By Michael Dinkins — CPA, CMA, former CFO of 3 public companies, 50+ M&A deals, and a 105-year family business legacy.
