Driving The Mouse (A startup story)
- mellison 18y agoNice posting. I read this book years ago and I continue to believe it is one of the best startup books out there. I am sick of hearing about google, ebay, etc. Great companies, but not applicable to most entrepreneurs.
- daveambrose 18y agoOften in life, "experience" is what you get when you do not get what you want. However, in John and Kyle’s case, experience is what they wanted and what they got from their adVenture. They certainly believed in their product, but unlike most entrepreneurs, their startup’s journey was more important to them than its ultimate destination. I'm always fascinated by the "journey" more so than the "destination". In this case, The MouseDriver Chronicles sounds like a great story. Added to my "To Read" list!
