Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company.
Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover?
Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done.
But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businessesdo—create value—more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you.

評分看过dominicbasulto在 Endless Innovation 中的评论: "Book with the most stickies"後,对此书的兴趣极高。 可以从Google中查到那篇小文。 很希望看到书中所述早期开拓时代的人们工作状态~ 在追求结果的社会浮躁心态下,需要有这样揭示开拓者工作的书籍,来为年轻的将来社会...

评分以前讀的
评分那些IT創業故事,他們是如何開始的,轉摺點是什麼,如何拉到投資的,有什麼經驗教訓。寄希望於從中學到點什麼的人來說,其實人傢剛開始乾也是什麼都不懂就開始瞭。最重要的,其實是開始乾!找到閤適的夥伴非常重要,否則你很難堅持到成功。
