Review: Summary: "Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. If you're one of these people, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful one, to learn how it's done." "But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businesses do - create value - more intensively than any other part of the economy. The lessons startups can teach about productivity are lessons that almost everyone will be able to use in their own work."--BOOK JACKET.
