Start Small, Stay Small is a step-by-step guide to launching a self-funded startup. If you're a desktop, mobile or web developer, this book is your blueprint to getting your startup off the ground with no outside investment. This book intentionally avoids topics restricted to venture-backed startups such as: honing your investment pitch, securing funding, and figuring out how to use the piles of cash investors keep placing in your lap.

Get inspired and motivated to take your startup to the next level as 33 startup founders reveal everything in surprising detail about how they found cofounders, started their startups, obtained users, pivoted, raised millions of dollars in venture capital, hired employees, overcame the trough of sorrow and persisted through times of certain failure, and more. For the first time, you can get inside the founders’ heads and understand how they approach the toughest problems entrepreneurs face.

工作永遠做不完？表現總是差強人意？ 你不是能力不好，也不是工作運太差 你只是不夠「駭」！

• 你是否曾撥電話給掌管某職務的人，請他破例更動截止時限或規則？
• 你是否曾把公司檔案寄到私人信箱，以便回家處理？
• 你是否曾為了公司就是寧願把事情放著爛也不肯改善，而氣的牙癢癢？

如果答案是肯定的—— 沒錯。你早就具備成為工作駭客的資格了！

對於我們被迫忍受的所有愚蠢流程、工具、規定和官僚體系，「駭」都是強而有力的解決之道。如果可以不用理會那些絆腳石，要繳出漂亮的工作成績有那麼難嗎？那些官僚、制度和流程實在要命。工作讓你氣餒？一定的啦。如果必須遵守一堆蠢規定，怎麼可能樂在工作嘛！ 請打起精神──把工作做好，有必勝法！

頂尖的企業人才們都是自行其事的。他們繞過「神聖」的組織結構、使用禁忌的工具、無視愚蠢的公司規定。換句話說，他們善用「駭」工作術來提升工作效率。
