About this ebook
* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.
By reading this summary, you will discover how the groups of web giants were built, and how their success, based on innovative ideas, took place from the very first years.
You will also discover that :
success does not necessarily depend on a grandiose project and substantial funds;
the simplest ideas are often the best;
it is necessary to know your product well: success is more often achieved when a technician founds a company than when he is a salesman;
you need to know how to surround yourself with the right people and be lucky to create an efficient network.
Based on interviews with the founders of some of the most popular startups on the web, Jessica Livingston reveals their common characteristics: an unwavering determination to create a project that works, an unfailing perseverance, an adaptability that requires a great flexibility of mind and a real motivation, residing more in the love of a job well done and the desire to change the world than in the desire to make a lot of money.
In a large company, the time spent on looking efficient is less and less time spent on productivity. Startups, on the other hand, prefer working methods that leave less room for appearances and focus on efficiency. This book proposes to explore what, according to their creators, has made the greatest successes on the web.
