That's very true, but that's also what's so exciting about this whole movement. We're in the middle of something pretty special. An all YC Founders at Work would tell the story of a few exits, but it could also get into the details of some still-growing companies. Those are the companies that will to continue to hold us in suspense even after we finish the book. We get to watch those stories come to an end in real time.
Jessica would be in a pretty good position to tell those tales.
I can't answer that, but there is apparrently a new chapter in the paperback that discusses the early history (in interview format) with Jessica Livingston.
For many years I've kept a book in my laptop bag so I always have something interesting to read. These days I'm usually carrying Founders at Work and another book.
does anyone know if the updated version is only available in paperback? i've been meaning to read f@w for a while, and went to order it today, but i would really prefer the updated version in hardcover...
It's a very good read. Jessica Livingston has a really smooth interview style. Her questions are right there in the text, yet it reads as if the founders are just spontaneously telling their story.
