Startup Best Practices: Conversations with Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs, by Cees Quirijns

EFactor brings start-up advice for entrepreneurs to its global community

SAN FRANCISCO, December 13, 2010 - EFactor, the largest online global community of entrepreneurs, has released a book to its members, on the best practices of Silicon Valley start-ups. EFactor now invites every entrepreneur to visit www.efactor.com/sbp and download the book at free of charge.

The book, Startup Best Practices: Conversations with Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs,
written by Cees Quirijns, contains 15 candid interviews with serial entrepreneurs, who are all active in the Bay Area. In the book, they share more than 150 start-up tips and useful tricks. Adrie Reinders, EFactor Co-Founder and CEO, comments, “EFactor provides its members with numerous tools to help them succeed as entrepreneurs. This book offers starting businesses the opportunity to learn from those who have already been there and done that. That’s exactly the type of entrepreneurial knowledge that we love to bring to our community.”

The failure rates of start-ups remain high, with the majority of new companies unable to exist five years after being founded, according to statistics of the U.S. Small Business Administration Office. Cees Quirijns, author and management consultant, states, “It’s a real shame that starting entrepreneurs often have to reinvent the wheel because best practices are not well documented. I want to change that.”

Quirijns focuses the book in Silicon Valley due to its position as the center of worldwide start-ups in recent decades. After all, Silicon Valley does not only withhold the success of start-ups, but trials and tribulations as well. The book emphasizes business suggestions in fields such as: marketing, sales, finance...and much more. Most importantly, it highlights a few common traits that all entrepreneurs carry: passion, customer centric and the importance of a successful team.

EFactor is offering this book as a free download to its members, providing its community the valuable knowledge of entrepreneurship and business practices. Since the book consists of informative interviews with entrepreneurs who have not only started and sold companies once, but several times; the depth of start-up experiences shared throughout the book can now benefit EFactor members at free of charge. As Reinders notes, “We are very pleased to provide our members, and other entrepreneurs, with this pearl of entrepreneurial wisdom. We invite everyone to visit our site and download the book. Membership of EFactor is of course free as well.”
