Expected a bit more from it, although interesting info nonetheless. You shouldn't expect it to be a guidebook with exhaustive info about startups and how to's. It just runs over the main issues of the startup process.

Absolutely brilliant!
Many a startup founder dream of giving back to the ecosystem. Some by mentoring and coaching, some by donating money to good causes, some by writing educational blogs. Part of my plan was to codify everything I've learned in my entrepreneurial journey and write a book, so that less experienced founders could shorten their learning curve.
Guess what? This part of my plan can now be easily thrown into trash. Vitaly's Accelerated Startup covers everything I would want to cover. Furthermore, it conveys the message clearly, succinctly and straight to the point.
There are lots of great books about entrepreneurship and startups and undoubtedly Accelerated Startup deserves a top shelf space in every startup founder's Must Read list.
Kind regards
