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.

評分著名高科技(主要是互联网)企业创始人介绍在创业初期的情况。这恐怕是最真实的startups写照了,感觉和大众媒体强加于我们的印象大相径庭,但是感觉却更真实可信。 从Paul Graham作的序言中,我们也可以看得出作者独特的视角 “Apparently sprinters reach their highest speed...
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...
評分一 真正做过事和没有做过的人是不一样的。 这是本大部头了。 在这本书当中,你会看到32个企业家谈到他们如何创办自己的企业,一路遇到的艰辛等等的心路历程。 我们总是会认为初创企业开始的时候肯定会有一些神奇的东西发生,会有一些turning point,或者some kind of m...
