Been There, Run That

"Offers savvy wisdom and actionable advice from the trenches by entrepreneurs who have lived it all. Great read and inspirational as well."—Heidi Roizen, venture capitalist, Stanford University lecturer "This is what I want for entrepreneurs, especially for women: to believe in themselves, to dream bigger, reach higher, and to achieve success beyond their wildest expectations."—Kay Koplovitz Been There, Run That is an anthology of blog posts by thought leaders in technology, media, e-commerce and life sciences, curated by Kay Koplovitz, founder of USA Network and chairman of Springboard Enterprises. In 2000, Koplovitz co-founded Springboard as an accelerator for an expert network of women entrepreneurs. In their first six months, Springboard companies raised over $165 million in total funding, and nearly $200 million in their first year. Now, fifteen years later, companies in the Springboard portfolio have raised over $6.5 billion and have had positive liquidity events for investors, including high-value acquisition and IPOs. Been There, Run That offers insights from dozens of Springboard alumnae and advisors on starting up, raising capital, fostering human capital, and setting company culture, an entrepreneurial tool chest. For early-stage founders and aspiring entrepreneurs, seasoned business owners, and serial entrepreneurs who want tips on crowdfunding and new technologies, readers will find value in real-life advice from those who have truly "been there, run that." "A treasure chest of wisdom, common sense that will hopefully become more common as more come to understand it. Take your time reading this one, the good ideas are priceless and they appear on just about every single page."—Seth Godin, New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur
