An Entrepreneur's Guide to Starting, Managing, and Exiting Your Business
The Silverton Publishing Business Book Series · 12 Volumes
Get Notified at LaunchThe Million Dollar Highway — US Highway 550 — is one of the most dangerous and perhaps the most beautiful drive in America, perhaps in the world. Carved into the San Juan Mountains in Southwest Colorado by an entrepreneur named Otto Mears in 1882, it connects the mining towns of Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, and Durango through hairpin turns, sheer cliffs, and very few guardrails against a backdrop of unmatched beauty.
Building a business is the same drive. The Million Dollar Highway 12-volume series is your road map — covering nearly every legal, financial, and operational challenge you'll face from formation through exit. Written by a lawyer and entrepreneur who has formed and run multiple businesses and advised founders and business leaders for more than three decades, and a fintech executive who builds and scales companies from the inside.
Each volume covers a distinct legal or business discipline — read the one you need now, or drive the whole highway.
