Recommendation

The digital revolution has transformed people’s lives, but technology entrepreneurs often run up against the realities of an analog world, especially when it comes to dealing with governing bodies and regulations. Experts Evan Burfield and J.D. Harrison offer a useful guide to start-ups that must navigate among the powerful and influential to bring their products or ideas to market. The authors present illuminating case studies and lessons that entrepreneurs will want to consult when they resort to their own “regulatory hacking.”

Take-Aways

  • Uber’s rise created “an imperfect example” for tech start-ups.
  • The entrepreneurs who lead “regulated start-ups” must become “regulatory hackers.”
  • Regulatory hackers should master the power dynamics in their markets.
