What people on Hacker News said
A must read for anyone here who is serious about their startup.
It's easy to read for 2 reasons: every chapter is a short essay by a different person (including many Techstars alumni) and it's very well written, almost like pg essays but by lots of different people.
My 300 page copy has 50 or 60 dog-earred pages and hundreds of red marks; it's that full of gems.
"That means every moment you're working on something without it being in the public arena, it's actually dying, deprived of the oxygen of the real world." - Matt Mullenweb
"Focus on the smallest possible problem you could solve that would potentially be useful" - David Cohen
"We learned that very few people care how you accomplish something. Instead, these people care more about whether you create value for your end user." - Colin Angle
Sometimes someone says the same thing a little differently, and that's the one that actually reaches you.
This would be invaluable and highly desired advice and I'm going to look into getting a copy of the TechStars book.
