Why read it?
1 author picked How to Be a Founder as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I know the work that Entrepreneur First does and some young founders who have benefitted from their work and built successful businesses. This book is read by the founders as they talk about entrepreneurship, the start-up phase and co-founding.
I found the sections on understanding and using your ‘edge’ especially interesting, and this leads to some smart thinking about how to choose the right co-founder. The book stops at the point where the business is about to take off; keep that in mind.
From Simon's list on The best books for founders trying to be in the 10% of businesses that succeed.
