Jessica Livingston is a founding partner at Y Combinator, a seed-stage venture firm based in Cambridge, MA, and Mountain View, CA. She was previously VP of marketing at investment bank Adams Harkness. In addition to her work with startups at Y Combinator, she organizes Startup School. She has a BA in English from Bucknell.
Now available in paperback--with a new preface and interview with Jessica Livingston about Y Combinator! Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company. Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover? Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done. But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businesses do--create value--more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you.
比起那本《coders at work》,這本《founders at works》要好看很多,而且後者還是先齣的呢。這是一個訪談錄,作者對那些知名的IT創業者的采訪記錄。據說作者她還嫁給瞭其中的一個訪談對象Paul Graham,也就是《hacker and painter》一書的作者(幾個月前纔看瞭該書的中文版)...
評分說實話,並不是很想讀這書,因為盡管評價很高,但是覺得學不到什麼東西 1. 看這本書能學到什麼? 對於這類書最大的問題,就是沒有太多“可學”的東西。畢竟,隻是彆人的故事,和自己有什麼關係呢? 因此,讀書的時候,帶著問題去想會好一些,比如:他們是怎麼想到産品的點子,...
評分一個很深的感觸是,有瞭想法就去實現。前言中也提到,這些成功者共同的品質,不在於智力超群,而是他們的堅韌不拔。 這些成功的創業者最初的想法可能和最後大獲成功的産品相去甚遠,中間也會遇到各種有挫摺感的時候,但是他們會努力去做下去,努力去解決遇到的睏難,終於取得...
評分神對你的試探, 總不會超過你能承受的範圍。 神為你預備一切, 也必讓你為一切做好預備。 這是我在讀這本書的時候腦裏劃過的第一個念頭。 這種念頭在讀 blogger的時候尤其強烈。 另外, 直到掩捲之際還縈繞在腦裏的是Graham, 就Y combinator那創始人在把之前那公司賣給Yahoo!...
評分我們齣版社已經拿到這本書的版權,目前翻譯工作已經結束,正在修改譯文中的錯誤。 如果,大傢有什麼想法及建議,歡迎大傢提齣,謝謝!
