Entrepreneurship; Small businesses & self-employed; Advice on careers & achieving success

From venture capitalist and pioneering entrepreneur Kathryn Finney, an indispensable guide to building a startup and breaking down barriers for diverse entrepreneurs.

Build The Damn Thing is a battle-tested guide for every entrepreneur who the establishment has excluded. Finney, an investor and startup champion, explains how to build a business from the ground up; from developing a business plan to finding investors, growing a team, and refining a product. Finney empowers entrepreneurs to take advantage of their unique networks; arms readers with responses to investors who say, ""great pitch but I just don't do Black women""; and inspires them to overcome naysayers.

For all the Builders striving to build their businesses in a world that has overlooked and underestimated them- this is the essential guide to knowing, breaking, remaking and building your own rules of entrepreneurship in a startup and investing world designed by the ""Entitleds.""

Don't wait for the system to let you in - break down the door and build your damn thing.

Reviews for Build The Damn Thing: How to Start a Successful Business if You're Not a Rich White Guy

Having been an entrepreneur and founder for over 20 years, I have read my fair share of business books but Build The Damn Thing is like nothing else I've read! Kathryn's honest insights and 'tell it like it is' approach to building is not only refreshing...it's necessary; especially in a time when so much is at stake. I greatly appreciate the attention to principles typically glossed over-or completely ignored-in most books about entrepreneurship, like the importance of core values. That, for me, makes Build The Damn Thing a must-read for any aspiring startup founder grounded in commitment and responsibility. -- Diana Verde Nieto, founder and CEO of Positive Luxury
