Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
New Venture Creation
Jeffry A. Timmons · 2004
76/100
👍 Worth It
The Timmons Model has earned its place in business school curricula over decades, and this textbook earns its reputation by walking entrepreneurs through the full venture lifecycle with genuine rigour — from opportunity recognition through financing, team building, and exit planning. The 2004 internet-era case studies are dated, but the frameworks themselves remain sound. Essential reading for business school students in entrepreneurship; too textbook-heavy for casual readers.
