Story5 out of 5 stars 39
Every iconic tech company was once a startup. And while these companies like to paint an origin story full of surefooted confidence, the truth is usually something different: the early life of most startups is pure chaos. This chaos comes from the vastly different motivations and incentives between those with the vision and those with the money. From fundraising paranoia to boardroom coups, Zalman and Neumann train their inimitable voices on the gulf between what founders and investors promise to do and what they end up actually doing.

Worth reading, especially if you are in it

Have your seen Seinfeld? A show about nothing. Same here. It tells you the story exactly how it is. Gives you the insights of the process from start to hopefully successful exit and the ever evolving relationship between founder and investor, founder and co-founder and investor to investor.
I love the way the book is written, first one and then the other on the same topic.
I also likes listening to the a book that is read by the authors. They are able to add the emphasis and the emotion into the words.
I recommend the book to all, especially the ones in the startup world, future and present founders.
