I'm not sure the book analogy is appropriate. Books require concerted effort until publication, then nothing (this is changing but still the case, at large). Start-ups require constant maintenance and improvement. Care to comment on that?
- graeme 14y agoI've written a book (non-fiction), and work for a startup. The latter is considerably more complex than the former. It's often better to write a book by secluding yourself in a room or cabin. You can't run a startup that way. A book has a clear ending. A startup does not.
- liquimoon 14y agoI think it's probably harder to be on the NYT best seller list as an author than to run a billion dollar company. If you consider the number of writers vs the number of startups, I think the odds are probably the same. So, if majority of the NYT best sellers come from single authors, what does that say about the actual potential of a single founder being successful?
