Chris Yeh and Reid Hoffman

Foreword by Bill Gates

From the authors of New York Times bestsellers, The Alliance, and The Start-up of You comes a smart and accessible must-have guide for budding entrepreneurs everywhere.

Silicon Valley is renowned for its striking number of businesses that have grown from garage start-ups into global giants; Apple, Cisco, Google, HP, and Intel to name a few. But what is the secret to their outstanding success? Hoffman and Yeh explain that it’s simple: they’ve learned how to blitz scale.

Featuring case studies from numerous prominent tech businesses such as AirBnB and WeChat, this book offers a specific set of practices for catalyzing and managing dizzying growth in bourgeoning start-ups. Prioritizing speed over efficiency in an environment of uncertainty, Blitzscaling illustrates how businesses can accelerate to the stage in a company’s life cycle where the most value is generated. Using the framework provided by Hoffman and Yeh, readers will learn how to design business models that simultaneously support growth at a furious pace and capture the market, as well as how to navigate the necessary shifts in strategy needed at each level of scale.
