Super Founders

Más información sobre el libro

Every VC is in pursuit of unicorns—those billion-dollar companies that revolutionize their industries—and every entrepreneur aspires to achieve this status. In his analysis, Ali Tamaseb examines over 200 unicorns founded since 2005, utilizing 40,000 data points to uncover surprising insights about these companies and their founders. Notably, half of unicorn founders are over 35, and many lack direct experience in the industries they disrupt. Interestingly, being a solo founder poses no disadvantage. Sixty percent of billion-dollar ventures are initiated by repeat entrepreneurs, often with previous exits exceeding $50 million. Additionally, more than half of these unicorns launched while facing competition from multiple incumbents. This challenges prevailing assumptions about startups, influencing both funding dynamics and the profiles of aspiring entrepreneurs. The book offers an unprecedented look into the data surrounding the world’s most successful startups and their often-overlooked founders. Combining data, analysis, narratives, and exclusive interviews, it serves as a transformative guide for entrepreneurs and investors alike. You might discover that you resemble a Super Founder more than you realize!
