    Founders At Work: Y Combinators new book.

    Jessica Livingston from Y Combinator who's been primarily know for organizing Startup School, has put together a book of interviews with tech startup founders. I've already ordered it and eagerly await its arrival. Buy the book from Amazon here.

     

    bcm.gifFounders at Work is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company.
