Brad Feld has a new book on mentoring
It is based on the Give First philosophy that helps create a vibrant start-up community by breaking free from a transactional mindset and becoming an extraordinary mentor.
Brad Feld first published Start-up Communities: Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City nearly 13 years ago. Among other important things, it advocated that entrepreneurs, not support organizations, should drive the proverbial bus.
Now, after nearly two years away from the spotlight, he’s back with a new book titled Give First: The Power of Mentorship. The Give First philosophy encourages individuals to give their time, resources, and expertise to others without expectation of immediate return. It goes beyond the “Pay it Forward” mentality, showing you how to adopt a continuous, optimistic, and empathetic mindset in your professional life. The new book reinforces positive feedback loops that impact not only individuals but also entire communities.
“In this book, you’ll discover how Give First can help you create a vibrant start-up community by breaking free from a transactional mindset and becoming an extraordinary mentor,” the promotional materials say.
Feld is a Co-Founder of accelerator operator Techstars and a Partner in Foundry, one of the largest networks of entrepreneurs and early stage investors in the country.
