Build The Damn Thing is a battle-tested guide for every entrepreneur who the establishment has excluded. Finney, an investor and startup champion, explains how to build a business from the ground up; from developing a business plan to finding investors, growing a team, and refining a product. Finney empowers entrepreneurs to take advantage of their unique networks; arms readers with responses to investors who say, "great pitch but I just don't do Black women"; and inspires them to overcome naysayers.
For all the Builders striving to build their businesses in a world that has overlooked and underestimated them: this is the essential guide to knowing, breaking, remaking and building your own rules of entrepreneurship in a startup and investing world designed by the "Entitleds."
Don't wait for the system to let you in - break down the door and build your damn thing.

Critics Review
Having been an entrepreneur and founder for over 20 years, I have read my fair share of business books but Build The Damn Thing is like nothing else I’ve read! Kathryn’s honest insights and ‘tell it like it is’ approach to building is not only refreshing…it’s necessary; especially in a time when so much is at stake. I greatly appreciate the attention to principles typically glossed over-or completely ignored-in most books about entrepreneurship, like the importance of core values. That, for me, makes Build The Damn Thing a must-read for any aspiring startup founder grounded in commitment and responsibility.
An inspiring and galvanising guide to starting a business for anyone who finds themselves on the outside trying to break in. Filled with motivating and practical advice, this is a must read for every aspiring entrepreneur.
Hard earned knowledge, practical advice and an authentic engaging style combine to make this business building primer a must read for both wantrepreneurs and early stage business builders. The author’s enthusiastic mantra “you got this” is a timely rallying cry for all of us. I plan to continue building the damn thing.
A guide to compete against the odds! What you might perceive to be a negative attribute, could very well be your superpower!
Kathryn has done an incredible job breaking down the steps of how any entrepreneur can be successful on this business journey with practical and tangle steps. Such an easy read which I’m sure will help so many achieve their goals in business – great book!
