I've seen both sides of the coin. I've been part of ventures that scaled successfully, and I've experienced the painful lessons of failed scaling. Let me tell you, the latter is not just a financial drain but also a mental and emotional one. It impacts team morale, market reputation, and future funding opportunities.

Initial thoughts are positive! I had a free moment and ready into your financial angle of cost optimization. A great use of real world experiences to answer questions I didn't think I had. While reading, I realised it actually could have some impact how I deliver messaging to customers.

Bogdan, to say I'm impressed with Startup Scaling Blueprint is an understatement. I expected a great eBook, but was not prepared for the scope and thoroughness you have provided. Your depth of experience and the thought and passion you put into your guide really comes through. As someone who's been through the scaling journey I know how challenging it can be. But with your guide, founders need not experience the pain that others without a roadmap will experience. Seriously. This eBook is literally worth millions for startups who have confirmed product market fit and are ready to scale. PMF on a small scale is just the start, scaling is where the big ROI comes in, and it's fraught with difficulties for founders who don't have the vast experience you have.

This e-book is a very detailed walkthrough on how to grow your team properly since it covers both tech and non-tech information and how-to's. Definitely worth the read!

Donart Ramadani

Frontend Engineer

I can see how much care and attention has gone into creating this. I've looked at it from the perspective of a manual or manifesto for entrepreneurs or business leadership with technical understanding. Firstly, it's very comprehensive from a systems and process perspective. There's so much value in here! It is very dense, though, and there's a lot of text.

Alex Leathard

Head of Advisory

Wow - this looks packed with value. … you say it’s for people at point of scaling but I advise being ready for growth before launch even-where possible. Very impressive though!!

Stuart Prestedge
