Ask HN: Startup Failure Book. Would You Read It? Contribute?
I am in the process of putting together startup failure stories for a potential book. Is this something that would be of interest to you? If you have experienced startup failure would you consider contributing?
- mtmail 8y agoI don't have a good failure story. I'm a semi-regular reader of https://www.failory.com/interview-failure https://www.failory.com/interview-failure though so I think there might be a market. At least if you can identify a couple of patterns (e.g. filters in the left pane of https://www.failory.com/cemetery https://www.failory.com/cemetery). In the interviews I often see entrepreneurs pointing to (marketing?) their new projects which might get outdated fast. I did enjoy Founders At Work (https://www.amazon.com/Founders-Work-Stories-Startups-Early/dp/1430210788 https://www.amazon.com/Founders-Work-Stories-Startups-Early/...) 5 years after it got published. Not sure if a list of company names on the cover would work for failures.
