A Startup Reading List

I look forward to giving some of these a crack! One I wanted to recommend though, which isn't on the list, is Ready, Fire, Aim by Michael Masterson. It had a big impact on me in the early days and had me thinking about minimal viable products (and businesses) before that was a thing of its own.

Just got this: http://www.builttosell.com/ by John Warrillow.

How did I hear of him? My copreneur and I were discussing the idea of giving shares to our sole employee as performance incentive. She didn't like the idea from the beginning and googled for "real" reasons. :-) She found John Warrillow. This podcast sobered me up a bit:

That's a pretty good book, although in some ways it recapitulates a lot of this one:

Here's my summary of Built to Sell, fwiw:
