  1. Very useful book for startup founders
    This book has offered profound insights into the development of billion-dollar startups, employing a methodical approach to dissect the key components essential for creating such successful ventures. As a startup founder, I’ve found its practical advice to be immensely beneficial. I appreciate the effort invested in gathering data and conducting interviews with founders. Thank you.

  2. Would recommend!
    Great read, very engaging and insightful! Brought in lots of different examples and varying perspectives from investors & founders, which gave the data lots of color. Will definitely be referring back to this book a lot throughout my venture career.

  3. Very good book
    If your are in the VC, angel investment or entrepreneur ecosystem I recommend your read this book.

  4. Black Swans of the Startup World
    This book cuts through the stereotypical thinking about startup founders and introduces a new way of thinking about entrepreneurs. They are not as young, brash, or Ivy League graduates as we believe them to be.

  5. Buen libro para derribar mitos del emprendimiento.
    Un excelente libro que con datos derrumba muchos de los mitos que hay detrás de fundar una empresa con estatus de unicornio y da buenos tips para aumentar la probabilidad de éxito de nuestra empresa emergente.

  6. Fantastic insight!
    Taking a data-first approach to understanding what drives successful start-ups, and importantly de-bunking a lot of myths, is essential to know. Ali has delivered an extremely well researched and well-written book that was a pleasure to read.

  7. Lacking that great insight.
    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.

  8. Super insightful and inspiring!
    I learned so much from this book and recommend it to anyone for inspiration. There are so many preconceived notions to what makes a successful company, and this book shows that most are not true.

  9. A must read if you are working on a startup, failures, pivots to success! Thank you Ali a refreshing read on super founders!

  10. Have you wondered if there is a book that can enlighten you about uncertain business challenges you face with your startup/company? This is that book.

  11. This book was a big revelation for me. I had many misconceptions and biases in the back of my mind about billion-dollar startups and their founders. Things like the age of founders when they founded the company, their level of education, their sector, their experience level, their domain knowledge, the amount of funding and the number of years it took them to reach their billion-dollar status. And on what basis their valuations and different funding rounds happened.Well, no evidence is stronger than real data and statistics to make a pretty accurate judgment on these topics.I loved the writing style of the author. no B.S, to the point, concise, engaging, and rich with insights conferred by thorough analysis.Best business book I read this year. It really empowered me. It helped me discard all the biases and misjudgments I had on how top billion-dollar companies are started and succeeded in the last 2 decades.

  12. One of the best and most eye opening books in the entrepreneurship world. Pretty solid and as scientific and objective as possible. A lot of profound insights about unicorn startups which one can hardly find in any other place all in one in a single body of work. I’m a unicorn founder myself and was impressed by how accurate and striking the insights in this book are. Very well done to Ali.
