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.
