Book Description

THE SAN FRANCISCO FALLACY IS NOT ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO. Rather, it's about the herd instincts that drive tech companies to set up shop there, and the mistakes these herd instincts lead to. Most importantly, it's about how to avoid making these same mistakes yourself. In The San Francisco Fallacy, serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist Jonathan Siegel looks at the 10 biggest fallacies that run through startup culture. Over his many years launching companies, he's fallen victim to what he now recognizes as a series of common errors, misconceptions that bedevil startups to this day. But he also learned how to sidestep and surmount many of these challenges. After multiple eight-figure exits and other startup successes, Jonathan began to see the deeper fallacies in which his failures took root. His biggest career successes, on the other hand, seemed to come when he and his teams went against the tide and did everything "wrong." This book is an examination of the popular belief system about startups. At its heart is a series of challenges to years of accumulated startup orthodoxy. What emerges is not just a critique but an inspiring call-to anyone trying to build a successful business-for a broader kind of critical thinking.

Book Description

Juxtapose: The dark side of startups. Ten startups, ten failures. Increasing visibility into how and why startups fail. Increasing influence and skill at making startups succeed. Investing hundreds of thousands of dollars. A Caltech pedigree and decades of experience & striving. But the startups keep failing. Every time. With: The dark side of Silicon Valley. Multimillion dollar houses that many people rent, not own. From which they can be evicted with 30 day notice, and have to rapidly find a new place for a whole family. With monthly rents in the thousands. Many, many thousands. And in communities with all these stresses, significant unemployment, plus foreign investors who buy up houses to leave them vacant. With: A relationship that has survived and thrived for more than thirty years. A family of four (the author, his wife, and two daughters) that believe heavily in family, education, and community. A protagonist that while weathering the grueling life of startups, continuously invested in his family and community. And these investments all paid off. And ultimately: Protagonist takes “the red pill”: becomes someone who sees the world in its true form, and believes it is harsh but amazing. Whose random acts of kindness includes giving away bread to strangers, running free robotics clubs for children, and buying people Macbook Airs, delivered to their desk in thirty minutes, for mother's day. Because he can. Because it might help. Because we should always strive to do better. Failure is a reality. Success is possible. Progress through failure, to succeed. I am one of the happiest and successful people you will ever meet. I have no wealth, own no home, and have weathered ten failed startups. But I am successful in the ways that really matter. And I can help others succeed too. Or maybe just entertain them. These are my stories.

Book Description

I just finished reading Jim Collins' new book. "Great by Choice: Uncertainty Chaos and Luck -- Why Some Thrive Despite Them All" (often GBC from here on out) describes the results of a deep investigation into how young companies can survive and thrive in chaotic, turbulent environments to achieve spectacular results. The book is of great value to startups and entrepreneurs seeking to build enduringly great companies. In this ebook, I look at how his concepts of fanatical discipline, productive paranoia, and empirical creativity apply to building a startup that succeeds over the long-term. To Note: I think that if you're trying to found-n-flip a business, most of these lessons do not apply. Rather, they're specifically for founders/leaders who want to be a long-lasting business success. Additionally, I don't want readers to come away with the idea that these are the only ways to become an enduring success. However, we have more evidence to suggest that these ways will work compared to many other approaches.

Book Description

'Engaging and insightful.' REED HASTINGS, CEO of Netflix 'Charming, fascinating and very funny. Marc Randolph demystifies the world of Silicon Valley start-ups, and makes you laugh a lot along the way.' DECCA AITKENHEAD, The Sunday Times 'Pick up the book guys. I have a funny feeling it will bring you value.' GARY VAYNERCHUK, author of NYT bestseller Crushing It In the vein of Phil Knight's SHOE DOG, this is the inside story of the creation of Netflix, one of the world's most successful entertainment companies, from the very first CEO. Now with over 207 million subscribers, Netflix's triumph feels inevitable but the twenty-first century's most disruptive start-up began with few believers and calamity at every turn. Marc Randolph's transformational journey exemplifies how anyone with grit and determination can change the world - even with an idea that many think will never work. What emerges, however, isn't just the inside story of one of the world's most iconic companies. Full of counter-intuitive concepts and written in binge-worthy prose, it answers some of our most fundamental questions about taking that leap of faith in life: How do you begin? How do you weather disappointment and failure? What is success? From idea generation to team building to knowing when to let go, That Will Never Work is one of the most dramatic and insightful entrepreneurial stories of our time.
