I’ve read a few startup books, but many were either too complex or too vague. Startup from Scratch finds the perfect balance. The 10-step structure makes it easy to follow, yet each section feels deeply practical and rooted in real-world experience. The part on assembling a team—even if you’re starting solo—was especially useful. This book makes starting a business feel achievable rather than overwhelming.
