Noam Wasserman is associate professor and Tukman Faculty Fellow at Harvard Business School.
Often downplayed in the excitement of starting up a new business venture is one of the most important decisions entrepreneurs will face: Should they go it alone or bring in cofounders, hires, and investors to help build the business? More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin. "The Founder's Dilemmas" is the first book to examine the early decisions by entrepreneurs that can make or break a startup and its team. Drawing on a decade of research, Noam Wasserman reveals the common pitfalls founders face and how to avoid them. He looks at whether it is a good idea to cofound with friends or relatives, how and when to split the equity within the founding team, and how to recognize when a successful founder-CEO should exit or be fired. Wasserman explains how to anticipate, avoid, or recover from disastrous mistakes that can splinter a founding team, strip founders of control, and leave founders without a financial payoff for their hard work and innovative ideas. He highlights the need at each step to strike a careful balance between controlling the startup and attracting the best resources to grow it, and demonstrates why the easy short-term choice is often the most perilous in the long term. "The Founder's Dilemmas" draws on the inside stories of founders like Evan Williams of Twitter and Tim Westergren of Pandora, while mining quantitative data on almost ten thousand founders. People problems are the leading cause of failure in startups. This book offers solutions.

評分就讀瞭講股權分配的部分。我們常說“閤作”很復雜,在這裏體現得淋灕盡緻,分得不好,隊友反而受不到激勵,覺得受瞭委屈。建議的做法,是Dynamic Split, 即在團隊不同的階段,按各自的貢獻來分配股權以及vesting時間。避免在一開始“熱戀期”的時候,就把股權全部定瞭,之後就開始懶散, 想著free ride。 本質,就是founder resources(技術、市場、資金經驗等等)的不足,所以需要引入外部資源,交換自己對團隊的控製權
評分對創業者麵臨的power或者是money的outcome總結的比較精闢,值得一看

評分因為 @阿北 的推薦,去amazon租到瞭kindle上,在租期結束前,斷斷續續在各種交通工具上讀完瞭它。創業的世界裏,問題沒有正解,連相對最優解都很難得到,這本書也沒有嘗試給齣任何答案,作者隻是通過調研得來的數據告訴你大多數人是在如何抉擇。
