Expo by Tim O'Reilly, and was offered a position as entrepreneur-in-residence at Harvard Business School. Ries began to devote all of his time to the lean startup movement, and held conferences, gave talks, wrote blog entries, and served as an advisor to companies. In 2015, he released The Leader's Guide, a self-published version of the curriculum used in his consulting work, exclusively through Kickstarter, raising $588,903 for its publication. In October 2017, he released a follow-up book, The Startup Way, which shows the application of entrepreneurial principles in larger corporate environments. Sales of The Startup Way were not as strong as Ries' preceding book The Lean Startup. Long-Term Stock Exchange In 2015, Ries began organizing The Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE), which is building a new U.S. stock exchange that aims to align the interests of companies and long-term investors and improve the public company experience. Ries had proposed the idea of the LTSE in his book The Lean Startup. On November 30, 2018, LTSE filed an application to the Securities and Exchange Commission for registration as a national securities exchange. On May 10, 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved the Long-Term Stock Exchange as a national securities exchange. Selected publications Ries, Eric.
