The Hard Thing About Hard Things
Based on his popular ben's blog, Ben Horowitz, cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz and one of Silicon Valley's most respected and experienced entrepreneurs, offers essential advice on building and running a startup—practical wisdom for dealing with the toughest problems that business school doesn't cover.
While many individuals extol the virtues of starting a business, few are candid about how difficult it is to run one. Ben Horowitz examines the issues that executives face on a daily basis, offering the lessons he's gathered by founding, managing, selling, buying, investing in, and supervising technology companies. He enhances business lessons with lyrics from his favorite songs, telling it straight about anything from dismissing friends to poaching competitors, establishing and maintaining a CEO mentality to knowing when to cash in.
The Hard Thing About Hard Things is an important resource for veteran entrepreneurs as well as those aspiring to their own new companies, relying on Horowitz's personal and often humbling experiences. The book is one of the best books on business.
