The TL;DR:

What I’m Thinking About This Week - Think Z: How I Started and Sold My Business the Gen Z Way

My book, Think Z, is finally complete, published, and available for sale here! I set out to write this book last June after Electriq’s acquisition, and it was an amazing way to reflect on everything that happened and all that I learned.

I wanted to write this book for other entrepreneurs considering taking the leap to build and scale their small businesses! I use the Electriq journey to highlight very distinctive aspects of a growing startup’s lifecycle, including everything I did that worked really well, things that didn’t go so well, and the way I would approach it now if I got to do it over again.

What the Book Covers:
🆕 How I started Electriq with no founding experience
💡 Breaking down all my lessons and mistakes
✍️ Defining what a Gen Z entrepreneur is/isn’t
👔 The question of the ideal post-pandemic office
🎟️ The opportunity and shift to a DTC-first-world
🧠 Showing you the not-so-sexy stuff (like mental health)
💭 How I built a company strategy based on iteration
🏃 How I ran my startup, from the first employees and beyond
🤝 How to create a team-led, thriving culture
🫵 Knowing how and where to delegate
📈 The idea of continuous personal improvement
📊 How to build for scale
🚪 Creating and executing an exit strategy
