Which books would you recommend for learning about scaling startups?

Platform Revolution by Parker, Alstyne, Choudary. It provides a comprehensive framework for scaling, specially for platforms but applicable to all startups with good tactics and examples.

Great topic! I recommend Scaling Up by Verne Harnish and The Lean Startup by Eric Ries. Both provide valuable insights into scaling startups.

The Lean Start-up is great. So much value. Think its $20 on Amazon.

1. Start with why 2. The personal MBA 3. Principles of success 4. The learn startup 5. Compounding effect 6. Zero to One 7. 80/20 principle

My top 3 are: -The Lean Startup: How Today’s Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses -Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future -Blitzscaling: The Lightning-Fast Path to Building Massively Valuable Companies

- Zero to One - The Lean Startup - The Checklist Manifesto

The Lean Startup by Eric Ries is a really good book ;)

Monetizing Innovation - great read!

I read Growth hacker

As someone who has transitioned from being an engineer to a startup founder, I highly recommend "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries. It provides a practical approach to building and scaling a successful startup, emphasizing the importance of continuous innovation and customer feedback. Additionally, "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel offers valuable insights on creating and dominating new markets, which is critical for startups to succeed in the long run. Lastly, "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" by Ben Horowitz is an honest and candid account of the challenges faced by startup founders and how to overcome them. These books have been instrumental in my own journey and I hope they can be helpful to you as well.

Blitzscaling by Reid Hoffman (Founder, LinkedIn) is a fantastic book about the mindset and strategies required to scale startups :)

Scaling - Blitzscaling by Reid Hoffman Growth - Hacking Growth by Sean Ellis Fundamentals - Zero to One by Peter Thiel

The Lean Startup by Eric Ries A good choose

Rick Rubin's new book The Creative Act: A Way of Being is a must-read.

This thread motivated me to resume reading 📚

The Art of War Book by Sun Tzu

- zero to one - good to great - the lean start up - delivering happiness - think and grow rich

Say what you will, but I think $100M Offers by Alex Hormozi would be a fantastic option.

I think amazing books have already been shared. So I will share something a bit off, where you can learn lessons for the topic, even though it is not written for the topic: "The Campaigns of Napoleon - Book by David P. Chandler" This book is an excellent way to see the rise of a leader with great tactical ability and strategic decision making, and how at scale the needs for growing the ones below you and teaching them how to do your work is more important than your skill. I'm a bit of an history geek, but really, there are many lessons in agile, company management and different company stages in this one, if you are willing to make the connections. PS: Also has battle maps, but that is just a plus ;)
