By now Guy Kawasaki’s ‘the art of the start’ (Amazon | conference) start-up guide book is a ‘modern classic’ in entrepreneurship. As Guy himself puts it, the book contains “time-tested, battle-hardened tactics for anyone starting a company”. Guy just held the keynote presentation at the Fast Pitch Competition of the LA based venture capital and business angel network Tech Coast Angels (TCA), and they were so nice to make the video available online There is quite a ‘formal intro’ with 3 eminent people introducing the event, thanking the sponsors and welcoming Guy. So I recommend you to jump to the beginning of Guy’s speech at min. 11. When you are busy and only wanna see some selected parts of Guy’s presentation, I recommend you to use the really handy navigation available when you click on ‘slide list’. There they have chopped up his elaborated advice according to the slides he uses. This allows for a good overview and enables you to jump to the aspects relevant to you.
