SuperFounders bursts any myths that you have about founders through data. Along the way you learn of many companies and its founders stories. Good book for someone thinking about starting startups or venture space.

This was a very well-researched data dive into what makes a successful founder of a billion-dollar company. I have to admit, I was shocked at most of this information, as pretty much every data point revealed conventional knowledge to be false or misleading. Since so many of my students and their friends dream of someday starting their own companies, I highly recommend anyone read this before embarking on that journey.

Not my cup of tea. Reading the description, I expected something along the lines of Jim Collins "Good to Great" or Malcom Gladwell "Outliers", and was somewhat disappointed. The book is well written and structured, but it is very schematic:: Each chapter explains some aspects of the way of becoming a real big company really fast, explores some data to perhaps discover some mitigating circumstances followed by an 'interview' which is actually more of a personal story of one of the rich and famous the book is all about.

While the book is peppered with a lot of interesting anecdotes and Trivia, it lacks really any eye-popping insight, It really makes you feel that the book was put together in a rush. I would recommend this book to the ambitious entrepreneur, the one who things has a shot at a billion dollar valuation. The one that wants to know how investors think and what aspects are important to hockey-stick-like growth. The rest of us is better of with the Collins and the Gladwell to get started on extraordinary results.
