With thousands and thousands of new tech startups launching every year, it’s shocking how little practical guidance for entrepreneurs has been published. Shirish’s new book provides rarely seen real-world advice for founders overwhelmed by the real world. Every tech entrepreneur should take a few hours off from the grind, in the wee hours of the morning or over a weekend, to benefit from the wisdom of a compatriot who has been there several times before.
