Why read it?
1 author picked Super Founders as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the fact that Ali has provided evidence that ANYONE can succeed as a founder. He has done a lot of number-crunching on ‘unicorns’ (I admire his tenacity for that!) and examined what makes a successful startup founder and some surprises emerge.

Sixty percent of unicorn founders had previously launched startups. It seems that in pretty much every walk of life, including this one, practice is the key.
From Simon's list on books for founders trying to be in the 10% of businesses that succeed.
