Startup books + what stage to read them?
What startup-related books did you read, and in which stage in your company's lifecycle did you read them?
For me it was -
- The Lean Startup - way before starting to any company, but close to when I started being interested in doing so.
- The Mom Test - while validation my idea.
What about you?
Here is my list:
The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business by Elaine Pofeldt
The Lean Startup by Eric Ries
The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz
It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson
Hacking Growth by Sean Ellis and Morgan Brown
The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
I put all book digests of above books here: http://readings.posthaven.com/tag/startup
In my opinion the best book on Entrepreneurship and idea finding is Peter Drucker's Innovation & Entrepreneurship: https://www.academia.edu/38623791/Innovation_and_entrepreneurship_-_Peter_F_Drucker
Read the first part about the sources for business ideas before and during start.
Read the third part about strategy after the start.
Read the second part about organization if you start growing.
