I found Sabeer Bhatia's interview one of the less useful ones in the book, though it was still worth reading. He sounded too negative about VCs, became a Google fanboy for no reason multiple times during the conversation, and gave too much importance to the notion of the 'killer idea'. Compare this to (say) Mitch Kapor's interview, and you see two completely different personalities, only one of which I would enjoy working with.
- davidw 18y agoI really liked the fact that there were some seriously different people interviewed. For instance, the Excite guy, fresh out of college, compared with the RIM guy, who chose between the Blackberry and some project for the space shuttle. And yet they both got rich out of their respective startups. I liked seeing that variety.
