Tell HN: I'm writing the European version of Founders at Work

12 pointsby filipcteover 14 years ago
Being inspired by Jessica Livingston's "Founders at Work", I've begun working on a book that will tell the stories of the most successful tech founders in Europe: how they started, what were the challenges they faced, what lessons they learned and so on.<p>If you're asking yourself who these founders are, let me name a few of the companies they built: Skype, last.fm, Bebo, lastminute.com, MySQL, MoneyBookers, Spotify, PollDaddy, Yandex and others.<p>I'm planning to self-publish it and use Amazon's CreateSpace (.com) as a distribution channel and for on-demand printing.<p>===<p>I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have on this that you would like to share. If you'd rather do it in private, feel free to email me at filipcte@gmail.com.<p>I believe there's a huge interest for this book and I hope it will inspire young entrepreneurs as much as Founders at Work has inspired people.<p>Thanks!

This is a great idea. Have you considered blooking it? I mean publishing interviews as you do them one at a time on a blog and putting them together in book form in the end. I really think writing and publishing books in the traditional way is completely out of sync with how people read now. I say this having just finished writing a book in the old way.

This sounds like a really interesting project, Ill be interested in hearing updates as you go along, a domain / twitter account would be useful.
