太棒了

著名高科技(主要是互联网)企业创始人介绍在创业初期的情况。这恐怕是最真实的startups写照了,感觉和大众媒体强加于我们的印象大相径庭,但是感觉却更真实可信。
从Paul Graham作的序言中,我们也可以看得出作者独特的视角
“Apparently sprinters reach their highest speed right out of the blocks, and
spend the rest of the race slowing down. The winners slow down the least. It’s
that way with most startups too. The earliest phase is usually the most produc-
tive. That’s when they have the really big ideas. Imagine what Apple was like
when 100% of its employees were either Steve Jobs or Steve Wozniak.
The striking thing about this phase is that it’s completely different from
most people’s idea of what business is like. If you looked in people’s heads (or
stock photo collections) for images representing “business,” you’d get images of
people dressed up in suits, groups sitting around conference tables looking seri-
ous, Powerpoint presentations, people producing thick reports for one another
to read. Early stage startups are the exact opposite of this. And yet they’re prob-
ably the most productive part of the whole economy.”
想创业和正在创业的人都应该看看,尤其是互联网创业公司。
