The Fighting Startup Quick Guide

Rate this book
Startups live fast and die young. The large majority of them never make it past the seed stage. The reason?
This very short book provides a quick guide on key topics decision makers must remember while searching for the persistence, commitment, storytelling, ego, governance, randomness, cooperation, and tango.

Written straight from the trenches.

Ignacio Chechile es un ingeniero argentino radicado en Helsinki, Finlandia. Publicó un libro titulado "NewSpace Systems Engineering" (Springer, 2021, en inglés) donde se aboca a describir el proceso de diseñar sistemas espaciales en el contexto de lo que se llama "NewSpace" que es una industria global con un gran componente "startup" con ciclos de vida cortos y diseños de bajo costo. También publicó de forma independiente un libro gratuito en español llamado "La Ciencia Dura" que se adentra en el pensamiento sistémico y en los desafíos de las carreras STEM. En 2023 publicó "Space Technology: A Short Introduction" a través de Springer, y en 2026 publica su último libro "Engineering is Broken", una suerte de ensayo analítico sobre la práctica de la ingeniería en tiempos de burocracia e IA.
