Great From the Start. How conscious corporations attract success. John B. Montgomery. 2012. ISBN 9781614481485.\u00a0 This is the chronicle of what Gordon Campbell (Chips and Technologies<\/a> founder)\u00a0 did when he created Techfarm Ventures<\/a> one of the earliest technology incubators.\u00a0 The incubator was a great success with his companies being acquired very quickly for huge sums.\u00a0 This book is easily the best “plan” for building a technology incubator I have read.\u00a0 But it goes on to become a very good detailing of everything (founder types, mentors, board meetings, legal , investments, customers and so on) a start-up needs to go through in order to grow to a successful exit.\u00a0 The examples and details are what you need and the language is very clear\u00a0 and straightforward. I hazard a guess that many present day “incubators” do far far less than what Techfarm did for its start-ups. A well put together book. I could not put it down.<\/p>\n
