Trade Review"Howard gives you an invaluable framework for understanding where you are with your startup and how to progress to success. "---- Pete Flint, Co-Founder of Trulia (06/28/2016) "Howard Love is a deeply experienced entrepreneur and early stage investor. This book is a culmination of many years of seeing successes and failures, what works and what doesn't. I highly recommend this book to entrepreneurs who want to make their own unique mistakes, rather than repeating the mistakes of others."---- Bill Ericson, General Partner Mohr Davidow (06/28/2016) "The J Curve is a must-read for any entrepreneur, whether first-time or seasoned!
