Through profiles and interviews of figures such as Bill Gurley of Benchmark Capital, Marc Andreesen and Ben Horowitz of Andreesen Horowitz, and Jenny Lee of GGV Capital, Tren Griffin draws out the fundamental lessons from their ideas and experiences. Entrepreneurs should learn from past successes but also be prepared to break new ground. While there are best practices, there is no single recipe they should follow. By better understanding the views and experiences of a wide range of successful venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, readers can discern which of many possible paths will lead to success. <p/>With insight and verve, Griffin argues that innovation and best practices are discovered by the experimentation of entrepreneurs as they establish the evolutionary fitness of their business. The products and services created through this experimentation that have greater fitness survive, and less-fit products and services die. Entrepreneurs have always experimented when creating or altering a business. What is different today is the existence of modern tools and systems that allow experiments to be conducted more cheaply and rapidly than ever before. Griffin shows that listening to what the best venture capitalists have to say is invaluable for entrepreneurs. Their experiences, if studied carefully, teach bedrock methods and guiding principles for approaching business.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A YourStory Top 10 Books of 2017 for Entrepreneurs.--YourStory<br><br>The book is a testimony to the power of open startup ecosystems, where entrepreneurs and investors reinforce each other's learnings and experiences.--YourStory<br><br>This book is a treasure trove of wisdom that delivers a blueprint across the entrepreneurial spectrum.--Booklist<br><br>This perceptive guide captures instrumental advice that serious entrepreneurs would do well to adapt.--Publishers Weekly<br><br>As an entrepreneur and investor, I have long enjoyed Tren's famous 'Twelve Lessons" posts over the years.
