Startups

About this book

This book is a collection of blog posts I wrote from late 2008 to early 2011. I've been intensely interested in tech startups for the past 15 years or so. I started three companies, including one (SiteAdvisor) that was acquired by McAfee and one (Hunch) that I'm currently running full time. I also co-founded an early-stage seed venture capital fund called Founder Collective. Most of these posts are written from hard-earned and sometimes painful experiences. I hope they help other people avoid some of the mistakes I made.-chris dixon ()ALL PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO HACKNY, A NON-PROFIT THAT ENCOURAGES COLLEGE STUDENTS TO JOIN STARTUPS INSTEAD OF WORKING ON WALL STREET.NOTE ALSO THAT ALL THE CONTENT HERE IS FREE AT [redacted].
