Ask HN: What are the best biographies of the firm?
Some firms have written internal histories that read almost like biographies. For example, McKinsey’s Perspective on McKinsey (Marvin Bower) and Sequoia’s history.
These are very different from founder biographies or outsider case studies — they’re written from within, capturing the firm’s self-image, values, and evolution.
