I recently reviewed Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson’s book Venture Deals , in THIS ENTRY. I have subsequently recommended the book to number of students as well as emerging entrepreneurs, all of whom expressed positive feedback. . Writing a book is very different from writing a blog.

As I noted in Why Most Business Books (Still) Suck , I am generally not a fan of business books. If you are a leader at a startup and you are reading a business book, you are not closing customers, raising capital, improving your product, or spending time with your loved ones. Ask For Mentoring. Fan, Not A Fan Boy.

Mark writes about The Perils of Shiny New Objects. In today''s uber-connected, social media, everything-is-public, people tell you there''s killing it with these new features, investor & mentor whiplash - it''s hard to avoid the latest thing. Or as Michael Lewis aptly called in this great book, " The New, New Thing " (continued.).

Thiel and friends will also agree to mentor these young entrepreneurs. Actually, they’ll get even more attention because this selection will put them in an even more exclusive peer group and will introduce them to even more connected mentors. In Poly Sci I learned critical thinking and writing. So is this a good idea?

You join teams that got good write-ups on TechCrunch, have great VCs, have star CEO’s, whatever. ” Strangely, the best I’ve ever heard this exemplified is in Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential - which is really a book about startups as told through kitchen stories. Writing a book will be fun.

When I saw World Series Poker Champion Annie Duke speak in 2017, I was inspired to write an article describing some of her recruiting techniques. Impressed with her wit and insights during her talk, I was excited to read her latest book, Thinking In Bets. Annie has previously written several well-received poker strategy books.

I understand that Adam Grant is a fairly popular professor at Wharton and has a book that some people loved called “Originals” (for me it interesting but not mind blowing, and I have some first-hand knowledge of some of its inaccuracies). I know it may feel this way since I’m writing this tongue in cheek. I get a lot of those, too.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
