Readers Say
“Pete understands that building the value of a company is more than just scaling the top line. As Pete argues persuasively, growing value is more nuanced and requires balancing growth and preserving your equity. With this book, Pete provides the antidote to the scale-at-all-costs narrative washing out the equity of so many promising founders today. A must-read for anyone trying to grow the value of their business without diluting their equity.”

It's about applying the right principles consistently and with discipline. A true testament to the power of internal capital: vision, people, and processes."
"Pete Martin had the crazy idea that it’s possible for bootstrapped companies—with no outside investors—to grow as fast as, or even faster than, venture-backed competitors, and he resolved not only to prove it but to show how it is done. The result is this book, Scale Up Faster, with a treasure trove of wisdom for entrepreneurs of all stripes. It’s a must-read for anyone building a business.”

THE AUTHOR
Pete Martin
I love starting, scaling, and selling companies (6 so far), playing drums in a classic rock band, exercising, traveling internationally, reading/learning, and most of all, helping business leaders improve the health of their companies and personal wealth through richer exits. My go-to humor is sarcasm, and I was voted class clown in high school for a reason.
Pete Martin has worked in sales, operations, and executive management for over twenty-five years, beginning in sales at IBM, executive management at SAP, and then building six of his own companies. He has personally sold over $1 billion of software, services, and technology to global companies and small to medium-sized businesses. Pete started, scaled, and sold four previous companies (car leasing, systems integration consulting, business process outsourcing, and software distribution).
His previous firm was sold to the global auditing giant KPMG. Pete has personally advised hundreds of C-level executives and business owners across twenty-six industries to grow their companies faster, enhance their business operations, improve their financial performance, and exit richer. Pete currently lives in Cleveland, Ohio, and enjoys drumming in a classic rock band.
