The book has been described by a few CEOs who read it and commented early for me along the lines of “The Lean Startup movement is great, but this book starts where most of those books end and takes you through the ‘so you have a product that works in-market – now what?’ questions”.

Even if your idea gets in the wrong hands, they will probably just get the high level “elevator pitch” which isn’t worth much anyways. Hopefully by that time you’ve developed the idea much further and in much greater detail – by talking to as many people as possible. Ideas are worthless!!!

Ask anybody what a software developer does and they can give you the one-sentence “makes software” answer. I think there tends to be this improper mindset that development resources are a commodity, and that they can’t be found easily…and subsequently, cheaply (or even free). 60s elevator pitch).
