How to Land A Startup Job to Become An Entrepreneur

Description

**UPDATED OCTOBER 2017** Called "an absolute SHORTCUT for anyone looking to break into startups and business development"

You want to work with smart people in a fast paced environment where you're learning every day...

You want to be a part of something bigger than yourself and feel your hard work's tangible contribution to your company...

You want to learn how to become an entrepreneur so that you can one day start your own company...

YOU WANT TO WORK FOR A STARTUP!

There's only one problem...you don't have any technical skills : (

This course is a step by step guide for people who currently don't possess any technical skills to land the startup job of their dreams.

And not just any job, but the premier "business job" at a startup which is commonly called Business Development.

Here's a few reasons why working in Startup Business Development is so awesome:

• You'll touch multiple parts of the company including strategy and growth
• You will build a massive amount of relationships that will carry you throughout your entire career.
• You'll build an insanely valuable and transferrable skillset of learning how to sell, market, and work with other companies.
• The trajectory for most business development professionals is CEO/Founder, Venture Capitalist, or high-paid business development professional

And guess what...startup business development doesn't require specialized skills as a prerequisite like coding, design, or financial modeling. Everything can be taught and you can excel if you have interpersonal skills and a strong work ethic.

Doesn't sound too shabby right?

This course is the first step by step guide with exact strategies, word-for-word scripts, and proven tactics to land a Startup Business Development Job.

Here is just *some* of what you will learn in this course

• Multiple strategies on how to overcome the common challenge of “not having enough work experience"
• A proven approach to demonstrate to the startups you want to work for that you are capable of doing a kickass job
• The absolute first steps you should take if you know you want to work for a startup, but aren't sure where to get started
• How to build relationships with people at the startups that you're interested in working for
• The blueprint for building out a powerful network of influential entrepreneurs
• The exact conversational topics you should focus on when meeting with entrepreneurs and prospective employers
• A proven methodology for getting someone you've never met before to meet you in person (worth the cost of this course alone)
• A step-by-step guide for getting your online presence where it needs to be so startups take you seriously
• Specific tactics you can employ before, during, and after an interview to stand out from the pack
• Ways to avoid the online applications forever (and why this is so important)

Skeptical whether this course will work for you?

Just listen to a what a others have said...

"Unless you're a programmer or have technical talent, breaking into the startup scene is incredibly hard. I really am lucky that I ran into Scott early on in my journey; his teachings about networking, strategy and of course business development were essential in my eventually landing a role leading BD at an awesome startup. He's been so effective in turning his experiences into career lessons that everyone can benefit from, and I can honestly recommend Scott's content, and this course, to anyone looking to grow their career – at a startup or elsewhere."

-Ron G, now Biz Dev at Sketchfab (Techstars)

"I had a pretty successful career in Enterprise Sales in a non-tech industry and eventually got bored of the same ol same ol – so I decided to try and break into the SF start-up scene in a Biz Dev role. Turns out no one in the start-up world cares about what you did before or how successful you were. All they care about is – How can you get them to the next level? I took Scott's “Break Into the Startup World" course and quickly realized I needed to really prove what I can do and stop talking about it. After several failed interviews and un-returned calls, I finally took Scott's advice...It ended up being a huge success which then led to a consulting gig and finally a full time dream job within 60 days."

-Danoosh K, Biz Dev at General Assembly

The course was great! I feel the content can be applied to any arena of business and professionalism. This course is truly road map to reach the industry one wishes to pursue. I would almost suggest you call the course Break into (your dream job).

I believe having everything you need to secure the job of your dreams which you'll spend 2,000+ hours at this next year is worth less than $1 a day for the next year so I plan on raising the price in the near future. If you want to take advantage of the initial price, I'd sign up sooner than later (Like now!)
