Peter Lasinger: From Start-Up to Scale-Up, Gebunden

Klappentext

Planting seeds, weathering storms, and harvesting growth for European tech founders

In From Startup to Scale-Up: Building Europe's Next Generation of Technology Companies, Dr. Peter Lasinger, Co-Founder and Partner at 3VC and former tech founder, delivers a field manual for European founders navigating the scale-up phase. Dr. Lasinger draws on PhD-level analytical frameworks and board-level experience at deep tech and SaaS companies to address the organizational challenges that US playbooks ignore.

From Startup to Scale-Up dedicates 40% of its content to crisis management, layoffs, and navigating toxicity during rapid growth. The author structures the journey as a cycle of cultivation, providing actionable mental models including "Problem-Trench vs. Solution-Hill" and "Gardener to Forester" alongside guidance on co-founder dynamics, capital strategy, M&A integration, and exit planning tailored to Europe's fragmented markets.

Readers will also find:

• Specific strategies for managing works councils, government subsidies, risk aversion, and other realities unique to the European tech landscape
• A three-phase framework covering Seeds, Storm, and Harvest that maps organizational resilience from founding through crisis to exit
• Real-world examples from companies that Dr. Lasinger guided from seed stage onward
• Diagnostic tools for identifying stagnation and surviving extinction events such as losing a major client or weathering a global pandemic
• Practical guidance on organizational design and scaling psychology, the primary challenges founders face after raising Series A funding

Written for European technology founders at the Seed to Series B stage, From Startup to Scale-Up also serves venture capitalists, angel investors, corporate innovation leads, M&A professionals, and MBA students in entrepreneurship programs who need to understand the operational realities of scaling technology companies across Europe's distinct regulatory and cultural landscape.
