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)...
評分今天我看瞭第19章的內容,主要是講:一對夫婦創業的項目是“永不終止的遊戲”。 在創業的過程中,通過一些想法+將想法用於實踐中,發現遊戲中的圖片分享能力,比遊戲本身還要受到歡迎。它們放棄瞭遊戲項目,轉而全心全意去經營“Flickr”公司(圖片分享公司...
評分看過dominicbasulto在 Endless Innovation 中的評論: "Book with the most stickies"後,對此書的興趣極高。 可以從Google中查到那篇小文。 很希望看到書中所述早期開拓時代的人們工作狀態~ 在追求結果的社會浮躁心態下,需要有這樣揭示開拓者工作的書籍,來為年輕的將來社會...
評分見過翻譯差的,沒見過翻譯得那麼差的!這本書就讓你們這幫人給糟踐瞭!以後你們能不能積積德,直接引進影印版?
評分著名高科技(主要是互聯網)企業創始人介紹在創業初期的情況。這恐怕是最真實的startups寫照瞭,感覺和大眾媒體強加於我們的印象大相徑庭,但是感覺卻更真實可信。 從Paul Graham作的序言中,我們也可以看得齣作者獨特的視角 “Apparently sprinters reach their highest speed...
