For Entrepreneurs: Recommended Books & Service Providers

3/25/2011

4 Comments

 
I get asked all the time for Utah-based referrals to a lawyer, a financial projections specialist, what books to read, a tax guy, etc.  I have finally decided with this new blog to create a page where I can send people.  The page is called For Entrepreneurs and is one of the tabs above.  The URL is http://www.johnrichards.me/for-entrepreneurs.html.  Check it out and tell me what you think.  If you are a service provider who would like to be listed there, let me know.  You'll need to b someone to whom I have referred entrepreneurs in the past and where it has worked out well.

Thanks for the recommended book list.

Any opinion on Ash Maurya's Running Lean vs. Osterwielder? I have only looked at the Business Model Canvas website, but it seems a lot more dense than the Lean Canvas (Ash). LC is really an easy read and easy to put into practice.

Ash Maurya's Running Lean is a great addition to the ecosystem. I especially like his website/blog at (http://runningleanhq.com/). I need to get into his LeanCanvas tool (http://leancanvas.com/). But, back to your core question. I like how Ash went from Osterwalder's (you misspelled Alex's name) Business Model Canvas to Rob Fitzpatricks's retooling and then his own improvements. I think that Ash's Lean Canvas lends itself especially well to web apps, etc. I intend to become more familiar with it in the near future, too.

John - We would like to be featured on your "For Entrepreneurs" tab of your blog if you would be willing. We can provide a list of references if you don't have any direct experience with us. Kent Thomas would be a good place to start as a reference.

We have a strong history of supporting the VC and Angel community and insure more Utah tech companies than any other insurance broker. We also insure most all of the VC firms in Utah including vSpring, Epic, UV Partners, Peterson Partners, Innoventures, Kickstart, Dolfin, Canopy, Mercato, Pelion, Utah Fund of Funds, UTC, and Wayne Brown, among others. We are also launching next week a website with an online application designed especially for small tech companies; it will provide quick insurance quotes tailored to their needs and with the best possible pricing.

If you prefer not to feature us, that is totally cool. Just let me know if I can provide any references or a client list. We likely insure many of the companies in which you have already invested.

Thx - Kevin
