Founders at Work - now in paperback
In case any of you haven't already heard.
- prakash 18y agoWhen is F@W part 2 coming out?
- jedc 18y agoI can't answer that, but there is apparrently a new chapter in the paperback that discusses the early history (in interview format) with Jessica Livingston.
- jbenz 18y agoI'd be interested in an all YC edition of Founders at Work.
- staunch 18y agoI would too, but somewhat less interested because the companies are still so early stage. The story is just beginning for most of them.
- jbenz 18y agoThat's very true, but that's also what's so exciting about this whole movement. We're in the middle of something pretty special. An all YC Founders at Work would tell the story of a few exits, but it could also get into the details of some still-growing companies. Those are the companies that will to continue to hold us in suspense even after we finish the book. We get to watch those stories come to an end in real time. Jessica would be in a pretty good position to tell those tales.
- fusionman 18y agoI just ordered F@W. Is it a good read?
- t0pj 18y agoIt's a good reread as well.
- chriskelley 18y agoI'm about halfway through and really enjoying it. There are many hidden gems if you pay attention. I also like that you can read it fairly non-linear.
- brlewis 18y agoIt's a very good read. Jessica Livingston has a really smooth interview style. Her questions are right there in the text, yet it reads as if the founders are just spontaneously telling their story.
- hooande 18y agoGreat book, now more compact and affordable. Buy it and read it, you'll learn so much.
- tbrooks 18y agoI just started it today. Great narratives from the authors. It'll make you want to pull on the job and jump into a start-up. (As if it's that easy...)
- coglethorpe 18y agoI can't find the audiobook version. Darn.
- ALee 18y agoGet this book because it puts everything in context. Put it rigt next to Hackers and Painters on your shelf.
- staunch 18y agoFor many years I've kept a book in my laptop bag so I always have something interesting to read. These days I'm usually carrying Founders at Work and another book.
- mattmaroon 18y agoCongrats Jessica!
- zandorg 18y agoI'm still enjoying this book. I put a tick in pencil, on the contents page, next to the chapters I've read. Bookmark old style!
- beaudeal 18y agodoes anyone know if the updated version is only available in paperback? i've been meaning to read f@w for a while, and went to order it today, but i would really prefer the updated version in hardcover...
- EastSmith 18y agoRead most of it a month ago. Great read!
- fallentimes 18y agoI can't wait until Muffin (Alexis) gets back from Thailand.
- muriithi 18y agoThank God(or YC) that Jessica left the Investment Banking Industry way back in 2005.
