How to Think Like a Brand. Act Like a Startup.
When 90 percent of startups ultimately fail, you need a secret advantage to stand out among the rest. Think Like a Brand. Act Like a Startup. is based on a key principle: successful businesses leverage the stability of established brands and the agility of startups to drive their growth. Perkins’s mission is to help you find your product/market fit and a business opportunity that sticks – to succeed without going through stagnation, chaos and lack of clarity. By reading this book, you’ll stay resilient and ensure sustainable growth for your startup.
This book will show you how to:
- Harness the combined power of brand stability and startup agility,
- Challenge your assumptions and embrace innovative ways of thinking and working,
- Prepare to weather the crises your organization will face, and
- Cultivate a hybrid approach to capitalize on the strengths of each while minimizing the weaknesses.

Think Like a Brand. Act Like a Startup. is a must-read for anyone involved in business growth and development. It’s designed for founders, owners, operations leads (director, manager, VP) and chief revenue officers – but it’s for anyone focused on organizational growth. Perkins brings plenty of experience to the table: with more than fifteen years as a founding instructor at General Assembly, entrepreneur-in-residence at Columbia University, and managing director at Microsoft for Startups, she can guide struggling founders and corporate innovation leaders.
