Toronto, ON – Eldon Sprickerhoff’s latest book, Committed: Startup Survival Tips and Uncommon Sense for First-Time Tech Founders, has been gaining traction in the tech community even before its official release. With nearly 2,000 pre-orders, the book is being welcomed as a practical guide for entrepreneurs navigating the challenges of building a tech startup. Published by Sutherland House Experts, Committed is set to release on November 12, with pre-orders suggesting high demand for Sprickerhoff’s insights into business resilience and practical startup strategies.
Known for his achievements as co-founder of eSentire, a globally recognized cybersecurity firm, Sprickerhoff uses Committed to share hard-earned wisdom from his journey, which saw his company grow into a billion-dollar enterprise. In his book, he addresses foundational startup concerns—finding product-market fit, raising capital, and facing down competition. Sprickerhoff notes that his guide goes beyond typical advice, instead grounding his strategies in real experiences, acknowledging that survival in the tech world requires more than just technical skill.
The early success of Committed is attributed to Sprickerhoff’s established reputation in tech and cybersecurity, with several industry figures applauding the book’s no-nonsense approach. “Sprickerhoff has created a roadmap that is refreshingly honest, providing insights often glossed over by traditional startup guides,” remarks Sumit Bhatia, co-founder of the Centre for Designing Change.

In addition to technical and strategic advice, Committed emphasizes a shift in mindset. Sprickerhoff frames founders as “Chief Survival Officers,” underscoring the importance of adaptability and mental fortitude. For aspiring tech founders, Committed promises to be an invaluable asset, with lessons extending beyond typical startup models to include resilience, endurance, and a keen focus on practical steps to achieve lasting success.
