Moz is now a $45 million a year business, but Fishkin's business and reputation took 15 years to grow, and his startup began not in a Harvard dorm room but as a mother-and-son family business that fell deeply into debt.\n\nNow Fishkin pulls back the curtain on tech startup mythology, exposing the ups and downs of startup life that most CEOs would rather keep secret. For instance: a minimally viable product can be destructive if you launch at the wrong moment. Growth hacking may be the buzzword du jour, but initiatives to your business can fizzle quickly. Revenue and profitability won't protect you from layoffs. And venture capital always comes with strings attached.\n\nIn Lost and Founder Fishkin reveals the mostly awful, sometimes awesome truth about startup culture with the transparency and humour that his hundreds of thousands of blog readers have come to love. Fishkin's hard-won lessons are applicable to any kind of business environment and this book can help solve your problems, and make you feel less alone for having them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rand Fishkin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14327908171889,"sku":"PRH-441","price":619.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/image_6f7d0b4d-81af-42e7-9dcf-ca8b5ca2d0e6.jpg?v=1537635106"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booksetgo.com\/collections\/rand-fishkin\/binding_paperback.oembed","provider":"BOOKSETGO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
