Ask HN: Which startup biography to read?

3 points by bojanbabic 12 years ago · 3 comments · 1 min read


I'm going on a trip for 3 weeks and would like to read a book. Was thinking about "Hatching Twitter". Heard from a friend that it has GOT moments where everybody stabs each other. Any other recommendations?

Founders At Work [0] (by YC founder Jessica Livingston) has the stories of many great founders and their companies. It's my favorite book on the subject.

    just read review that stories are bit outdated. does this statement stands the ground?

      the stories are old, some from the 2000 dot com boom. But I find the content relevant and the mindset of the creators useful.
