You've got a hot idea for a new dot-com, and you're itching to join the folks who regularly show up on CNBC and at the Lexus dealerships in Silicon Valley. But you also know your odds of big-time success are about as long as Bill Gates's position in MSFT. What do you do? John Nesheim, an adjunct professor at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management, who has personally structured over $300 million in new-venture deals, lays out the step-by-step skinny in High Tech Startup. Incorporating some two dozen case studies spanning the technology spectrum, he presents info specific to this industry that will help you get from concept to IPO. It begins with a 14-phase schedule itemizing time requirements, necessary assistance, typical participants, major costs, main risks, and desired results for each step. It then details all the critical stages (i.e., forming the company, preparing the business plan, assembling the team, dealing with venture capitalists and other funding sources). Nesheim focuses on practical strategies that should certainly improve your chances, but don't start prepping for that on-air interview with Mark Haines just yet: Only six out of 1 million high-tech ideas, he notes, ever become successful companies that go public. -Howard Rothman

The lessons revealed also apply to new enterprises in established, public corporations and to countries around the globe.
This book has six goals:
1. To prepare the CEO for the surprises yet to come.
2. To prepare the CEO for negotiations. "How much is my company worth? Why?"
3. To make clear the personal cost of leading a startup.
4. To improve the CEO's odds of success.
5. To assist corporate development managers work with new ventures.
6. To help new venture capitalist partners and associates get off to a running start.

There are 600,000 new businesses started in the United States every year--about seven times as many as were started each year in the boom years of the Fifties and Sixties. Most of these new businesses will fail the first year.
A typical venture capital (VC) firm reviews 1,000 high tech business plans a year; it funds about six of them, and sees only 10 percent of the funded startups reach IPO (initial public offering).
Most high tech startup proposals go unfunded because their business plans and market strategies were poorly thought out. Fewer than one out of 47,000 business plans that are submitted to VCs reach IPO. Private and corporate venture capitalists complain that everyone is wasting a lot of valuable time and money-and they say that the chances of success in launching a new high tech business could be dramatically increased if the startup entrepreneur and/or corporate new business manager had access to, and used, the lessons learned from actual venture experiences. They could avoid the common pitfalls in starting a business.
High Tech Startup presents a classic strategy for starting a high tech company and for securing multi-round financing. It provides more than 23 case studies that were carefully chosen to reveal how the classic strategy can be modified to fit the special objectives of the founding team.
