There is 6 out of 10 amazing articles that definitely give you a bigger scope of the entrepreneur world. Different articles explain the processes and the difficulties to grow the startup. I have read couple books about startups and plenty content I had already read knew about it; however, there are couple of articles that gave new reading and learning horizons. If you like the entrepreneur world I definitely embrace you to read this book.

Expected HBR articles and essays to be informative and eye-opening. I was very bored and let down with the majority of what I digested. A few decent essays saved this review from a 2-star rating. Personally I've read better things online about entrepreneurship and startups which is very disappointing. 3/5 is a fair score. Expected HBR articles and essays to be informative and eye-opening.

2 essays out of 10 are very good, and 2 more were alright. The rest are not bad and not super good either from the perspective of new principles. This is ok book for people who already read a lot on a subject, and will be either good or very bad for people who are just starting to work on foundation.

Ten articles (two interviews with the bonus of the book) about entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship as well as information on startups, venture capitalists, angel investors, founders/CEOs, etc. As an outsider/layman I found it all informative and interesting and lots of new information that can be used for later years (in attempts to open my own business some day perhaps, who knows?).

Information packed short articles on various aspects of success and failures of start-ups. Closely related to experiences that can be helpful for people looking to take the enterpreneurial route. Highly recommended.

On the new decades doorstep, know that most of these articles are from 2013. Some still hold relevance, but in startups fast-changing landscape, best to keep pace with podcasts instead.

Should have read before I started fundraising and building a company 😅. That being said it’s an easy quick read and some good tips. Great airport pickup...which is what it was.

Many articles in the book are so old and saying nothing interesting.

Most of the articles in this book are pretty good
