Well, it’s a big upgrade. It’s about 50% longer and covers several entirely new topics (vs just expanding on existing ones).
The biggest two changes are the addition of a chapter on building partner big ideas (PBIs) and a chapter on getting the first offer to be the right offer, or at least close to it.
I’ve also created spellbooks - these are supplemental books that link to the MBP, but cover deeper dive topics. I moved the chapters developing the potential strategic partner (PSP) presentation to now be a spellbook. I also moved the section on running a date-certain process to be a spellbook. I added a third spellbook on startup-to-startup acquisitions as these types of deals of their own nuannces and idiosyncracies. These first three spellbooks come with the second edition. Future spellbooks will be published as companions.
The body of the MBP book is now how to execute the pure form of the MBP framework—with the spellbooks being where we deviate or dive deeper into related topics.
And of course - MBP.co is where we’re going to keep expanding on the MBP framework!
