具体描述
Practical advice from some of today's top early stage investors and entrepreneurs TechStars is a mentorship-driven startup accelerator with operations in three U.S. cities. Once a year in each city, it funds about ten Internet startups with a small amount of capital and surrounds them with around fifty top Internet entrepreneurs and investors. Historically, about seventy-five percent of the companies that go through TechStars raise a meaningful amount of angel or venture capital. Do More Faster: TechStars Lessons to Accelerate Your Startup is a collection of advice that comes from individuals who have passed through, or are part of, this proven program. Each vignette is an exploration of information often heard during the TechStars program and provides practical insights into early stage entrepreneurship.
Contains seven sections, each focusing on a major theme within the TechStars program, including idea and vision, fundraising, legal and structure, and work/life balance Created by two highly regarded experts in the world of early stage investing Essays in each section come from the experienced author team as well as TechStar mentors, entrepreneurs, and founders of companies While you'll ultimately have to make your own decisions about what's right for your business, Do More Faster: TechStars Lessons to Accelerate Your Startup can get your entrepreneurial endeavor headed in the right direction. From the Inside Flap It is a cold, hard fact of business life that most startups fail. Even many of those entrepreneurs who ultimately succeed have stories of personal challenges, unsuccessful companies, and difficulties along the way. The founders of TechStars, a mentorship-driven startup accelerator, have worked with entrepreneurs and companies over the past twenty-five years, and have seen a number of the same issues come up again and again. In Do More Faster, the founders of TechStars identify the key issues that first-time entrepreneurs encounter, and offer proven advice from successful entrepreneurs who have worked with the TechStars program. The authors organize the most critical issues into seven themes: Idea and Vision, People, Execution, Product, Fundraising, Legal and Structure, and Work and Life Balance. Many of the examples are personal experiences from the entrepreneurs themselves, integrated into a cohesive narrative—while at the same time able to stand on their own. Throughout the book, they debunk numerous myths about startups and reveal some surprising truths. They explain, for instance, that the core of a startup is not always a world-changing and earth-shattering idea—in fact, it is often the case that successful startups started out doing something else. They also underscore the efficiency of execution: great entrepreneurs know how to synthesize data, make a decision about the path they are going down, and execute. And they offer some alternatives to traditional ways of raising money, while stressing that you shouldn't start with the assumption that you need to raise money. Mastering the seven themes may not ensure success, but understanding the issues, reading the stories, and getting advice pertaining to these issues will increase your chances dramatically. And if nothing else, you'll realize that you aren't alone in facing these challenges.

用户评价
读《Do More Faster》的过程中，我最深的感受就是，这本书并没有给我灌输什么“捷径”或者“速成秘籍”，而是非常扎实地从工作和生活的本质出发，探讨了如何提高效率的深层原因。作者的语言风格非常接地气，没有使用太多晦涩难懂的专业术语，而是用非常生动的例子和自己的亲身经历，来阐述每一个观点。我尤其喜欢他关于“深度工作”的论述，这让我一下子就明白了为什么我很多时候感觉忙碌，但成果却不尽如人意。原来，很多时候我都在进行“浅层工作”，比如回复大量的邮件、参加一些低效的会议、在社交媒体上刷来刷去，这些看似“忙碌”的事情，实际上并没有真正触及到核心问题，更不可能产生真正的价值。这本书让我重新审视了“忙碌”和“高效”之间的区别，也让我开始反思自己的工作习惯，是不是在不知不觉中陷入了“瞎忙”的怪圈。作者提出的“屏蔽干扰”、“设定明确目标”以及“刻意练习”等方法，都给我带来了很大的启发。我开始尝试在每天的工作中，抽出一段不受打扰的时间，来专注处理最重要的任务，并且在完成任务后，会进行复盘，总结经验教训，这让我感觉自己的工作效率确实在稳步提升。
评分这本书的装帧设计给我一种非常沉稳、专业的感觉，厚实的封面，简洁的字体，让人一看就觉得内容会很扎实，不是那种哗众取宠的快餐式读物。我翻开目录的时候，就注意到了一些让我眼前一亮的小标题，比如“对抗思维惰性：激活你的创造力引擎”和“信息洪流中的定海神针：构建你的个人知识管理系统”。这正是我最近非常头疼的问题！每天接收到的信息量简直可以用“淹没”来形容，新闻、邮件、各种社交媒体的更新，还有工作上的报告和资料，我感觉自己就像一个漏勺，很多有用的信息都悄悄溜走了，或者只是在我脑海里留下一点模糊的印象，根本记不住，更别说深入思考和运用了。我一直想找到一种方法，能够有效地过滤掉噪音，捕捉到真正有价值的信息，并且能够将这些信息融会贯通，形成自己的知识体系。所以，当我在目录里看到这些关于信息管理和创造力激活的内容时，我真的觉得这本书可能就是我一直在寻找的答案。我迫不及待地想深入阅读，看看作者是如何剖析这些问题的，以及他所提出的解决方案是否真的具有可操作性。我非常好奇，他会提供哪些具体的工具、方法或者思维模式，来帮助我提升信息处理能力和思维的活跃度。
评分这本书带来的最大改变，可能是一种心态上的转变。在读《Do More Faster》之前，我总是觉得时间是一种稀缺的资源，需要拼命地去争抢，去挤压。我常常因为deadline的压力而焦虑，因为完成不了目标而自责。但这本书让我明白，时间本身并没有错，关键在于我们如何去利用它。作者强调的“精益思考”和“持续改进”的理念，让我开始更加关注过程的优化，而不是仅仅盯着最终的结果。他用了很多的比喻，比如把工作比作一场马拉松，而不是短跑冲刺，这让我觉得，提高效率并不是一蹴而就的事情，而是需要耐心和坚持的。我开始更加关注那些能够带来长期价值的活动，并且学会了拒绝那些不必要的消耗。比如，我学会了更礼貌但坚决地拒绝一些不重要的会议邀请，也学会了在回复邮件时，更加注重信息的重点和目的性。这本书就像是一个温柔的导师，循循善诱地引导我，让我看到了提升效率的另一种可能性。它没有给我带来那种“一夜之间成为效率达人”的惊喜，但却让我感到一种踏实和自信，我知道，只要我坚持书中提到的方法，我的效率一定能够一点一点地提升。
评分哇，拿到这本书《Do More Faster》的时候，说实话，我的内心是有点期待又有点忐忑的。期待是因为我一直都在寻找那种能够真正点燃我内在潜能，让我效率飞升的秘诀。我的工作节奏本来就很快，每天都像打仗一样，总觉得时间不够用，任务永远堆积如山。所以，我迫切地希望这本书能给我一些“黑科技”或者“秘密武器”，让我能够像变魔术一样，在有限的时间里完成更多的事情，而且质量还能保持得住。我甚至幻想过，读完之后，我能拥有分身术，或者拥有一个超级大脑，可以同时处理好几件事情。读这本书之前，我花了很大力气去梳理自己目前的工作流程，我发现了很多的瓶颈，比如沟通效率低下，信息碎片化，还有就是经常会因为突发事件打断我的工作节奏，导致一天下来，重要的事情没做几件，反而是在应对各种“救火”行动。所以，我希望《Do More Faster》能够给我提供一套系统性的解决方案，从时间管理，任务优先级划分，到如何更有效地进行团队协作，甚至是如何在信息爆炸的时代保持专注，减少干扰，我都抱着极大的希望。我真的很想知道，这本书里的作者，究竟是如何做到“Do More Faster”的，是某种神奇的心理学技巧，还是颠覆性的工作流程设计？我期待着它能给我带来耳目一新的视角，让我看到那些我一直忽视但却至关重要的改变。
评分不得不说，《Do More Faster》这本书的内容，真的非常具有前瞻性。作者在书中探讨的很多问题，比如如何在高压环境下保持创造力，如何利用科技工具来提升个人效率，以及如何在工作中找到“心流”状态，都让我觉得非常有共鸣。我尤其对他提出的“构建个人操作系统”的概念印象深刻。我之前一直觉得，工作效率的提升，主要依赖于个人的勤奋和时间管理技巧，但这本书让我意识到，更重要的是建立一套属于自己的、系统化的工作和学习框架。这不仅仅是关于如何安排日程，更是关于如何整理信息、如何进行决策、如何保持身心健康，以及如何与他人有效协作。这套“操作系统”需要根据个人的特点和所处的环境不断迭代和优化。我开始尝试去设计我自己的“个人操作系统”，比如我开始使用一些笔记软件来记录想法和灵感，也开始尝试用番茄工作法来提高专注度。这本书没有给我提供一个现成的“万能公式”，而是鼓励我去探索和实践，去找到最适合自己的方法。这种开放性的指导，反而让我觉得更有成就感，因为我知道，我所做的每一个改变，都是在为我自己的未来打下坚实的基础。
评分感觉挺棒的，不过不知道为什么书中没有写marketing和sales，难道startups都不需要marketing吗？可能和硅谷的工程师文化有关吧
