Praise for The Startup Checklist


"Finally! The indispensable instruction book that takes you from your Big Idea to a Big Exit. In his inimitable wise and witty style, David takes founders through the nuts and bolts of how to start a company that can successfully make it all the way to the finish line. I"m giving copies to all of my entrepreneurs!"

Barbara Corcoran, Business Expert and Star of ABC's Shark Tank


"I work with hundreds of first-time entrepreneurs and The Startup Checklist is the clearest, most useful resource I have seen for someone considering starting a scalable, high-growth business. Experience may be the best teacher, but right behind her is David S. Rose."

Andrew Yang, Founder and CEO of Venture for America


"Everyone knows that a great business starts with a great idea. But the journey from a great idea to a flourishing, profitable business is a lot longer and thornier than most people realize. I can't imagine a more experienced, savvier, street-smart guide along the way than David S. Rose's The Startup Checklist."

Howard L. Morgan, Co-Founder of First Round Capital


"David S. Rose has seen it all, over many years and across thousands of companies, and then, to the great benefit of the rest of us, has distilled the essence of what it takes to succeed. I can't say strongly enough how much I feel that following the checklist David has created will help you make your company more successful."
