Why Read This Book

The most honest book about startup reality. Fishkin shares the mistakes that cost him his company and the lessons he learned the hard way. Topics other founders avoid: taking VC money, growing too fast, founder mental health, board dynamics. Especially valuable for first-time founders who need to hear what actually happens, not the sanitized success stories.
