Amazon Customer: A great explanation of why and how SV founded companies scale extreme fast with seemingly similar ideas or ideas that have already existed. The execution behind these fast growing startups was once a secret but thanks to this book, more startup founders will have this priceless insight.

Ivan Braun: This book is a good starting point for those who only start exploring the field of the startups, VC, and Silicon Valley in general.
In contrast, if you’re well read in the field, you’ll find very few unique thoughts or personal experiences in that differ from the shared wisdom.
I’ve found myself struggling with the ideas and examples. Take MVP - authors explain it in detail, arguing you have to release early and get the feedback ASAP. This idea was worth defining 20 years ago, but probably bare mentioning in 2019. In fact, I appreciated Ray Fishkin for _objecting_ this dogma in his recent book.
Or the same banal example of Southwest Airlines’ culture. I have met it countless times in other books. Come on, there are many smaller companies with great culture that didn’t make headlines yet; bring them instead.
Finally, I feel name dropping excessive. Brian Cesky is quoted to support every obvious thought. In the middle of the book, you’ll find they lunch together. Hey, I already bought your book. You already have my attention. Now, tell me something I don’t know.
Maybe we live in the same information field, to the point I’m too much...

Brian Dunn: Blitzscaling, The Lightning-Fast Path To Building Massively Valuable Companies, by Reid Hoffman and Chris Yeh, is a compelling read whose thesis states if a company has access to ample capital and the potential opportunity to capture most or all of a market, it should prioritize growth speed over efficiency, and accept, even ignore the inefficiencies and non-life-threatening fires that come along with it.
Blitzscaling is a counterintuitive strategy that goes against many classic old-school business techniques as you need to accept operating inefficiencies and uncertainties in exchange for speed. “When a market is up for grabs, the risk isn’t inefficiency – the risk is playing it too safe. If you win, efficiency isn’t that important; if you lose, efficiency is completely irrelevant.”
The book discusses many of the most well-known, fastest growing and currently most valuable companies, including: Airbnb, Alibaba, Amazon, Apple, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn/Microsoft, Netflix, PayPal, Uber and others. A couple years ago when Uber was raising money at a $60 billion private valuation, it may have been difficult to understand the astronomical valuation,...
