Publisher's Synopsis
Your complete startup downturn survival guide
During a market boom, startup funding is in abundance. But when a financial crisis hits, investments dry up, making it difficult for newer, smaller outfits to survive. During a period of economic instability, that task might seem even harder. However, a crisis doesn't have to mean it's time to shut up shop. Restartup shows how it's possible-by choosing to embrace instability and seizing the new opportunities it provides-to stay afloat, and even to thrive.
